Hello!

Today I got a working code to make my label turn either red (Exceeds time) or green (Before time) depending if the date/time in the label exceeds the Now() value.

But I also want the label to be able to turn orange if its 15min until the timer runs out. Is this possible?

I got this code:

If(IsBlank(ThisItem.'Last Contact');RGBA(0;0;0;0);
If(ThisItem.'Last contact'<= thecolor;RGBA(242;38;19;1);RGBA(0;255;42;45)))

The timer "thecolor":

Set(thecolor; Now())

Hi @Anonymous :
I am not sure if my understanding is correct, please help me point it out if there is an error.
There is a timer control, when you click on it, it will time for 15 minutes.
When the timer control is timing, you want the text in the label to be orange.
When the timer control is over, you want the text in the label to be red or green.
If so ,Please try this :
Step1:Set the app's OnStart Property to:

Set(Orange;true) /*Orange is my custom variable*/

Step2:Timer——
Duration

900000 /*15min*/

OnSelect

Set(Orange;true) /*Orange is my custom variable*/

OnTimerEnd

Set(thecolor;Now());;Set(Orange;false)

Step3:Label——
Color

If( Orange; Color.Orange; If( ThisItem.'Last contact' <= thecolor; RGBA(242;38;19;1); RGBA(0;255;42;45) ) )

@v-bofeng-msft Hello!

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your help.

This is not exacly what i'm asking for. I will try to explain better.

The timer control is not a clickable button, its on repeat every second to check if the time i've inserted into the labels is before or past the current time now().

If I set the time on the label to 2020-08-26 09:00 and the current time is 2020-08-26 08:00 it will display the color green, if the current time is past 2020-08-26 09:00 it will display red.

What I want in this scenario is if the current time is 2020-08-26 08:45 it will display the color orange in the label because its 15 min left until the set time in the label, and when it past 2020-08-26 09:00 it will display the color red.
