help with setting a NOT current datetime in PowerApps

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Calcioscacchi 413

Hi there. 

 

Using the now() function is quite easy to configure a button to set current datetime in a variable. 

 

But what to do when you have to set a variable with a different datetime value? I have some possibilities that I dislike:

 

1- use 3 textbox to write date, hour, minutes and concatenate them to a variable.

2- Write in a textbox the data in the correct format.

 

The way I like the most is to use a component in powerapps liek the "Date selector" with datetime, because it's easy and faster for the operator.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

    Hi @Calcioscacchi ,

     

    A common combination is a datepicker control and two dropdown controls.

    DateValue1.SelectedDate + Time(Value(HourValue1.Selected.Value), Value(MinuteValue1.Selected.Value), 0)
