I'm encountering problem with SharePoint date field, on my canvas app.

There is a date field named "ReportDate" at SharePoint list named "Reports".

Canvas app, at App OnStart, I wrote;
Set(varToday, Today())

then, on a screen, I place the button with OnSelect, Set(varTodaysReport, Filter(Reports, ReportDate=varToday))

I got an error with "Creating query failed" (See attachment pic)

Is this a problem with my formula or ....?

Hi @Sam44 :
The commonly used method is using DateValue (Text ()) together to format the Date Type from SharePoint list to make it in the same format as Today () in PowerApps.
For example:

Set(varTodaysReport, Filter(Reports, DateValue(Text(ReportDate)) = varToday))

Or

Set(varTodaysReport, Filter(Reports, Text(ReportDate,ShortDate) = Text(varToday,ShortDate)))

Got it.
I usually use CDS as data-source then was wondered why this formula is OK with CDS but not SharePoint, but got a point.
Thank you!

solved with minor modification
With({_preFilter: Filter('Meeting Room', EmployeeEmail=User().Email)}, ClearCollect(colDashboard, Sort( Filter( AddColumns(_preFilter, "_bookingDate", DateValue(BookingDate) ), DateValue(Text(BookingDate,"dd-mm-yyyy")) >=DateValue(Text(Today(),"dd-mm-yyyy")) ), _bookingDate,Ascending ) ) );
