Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I have made a powerapp, where I have used some filters to get around 20-30 rows of data from sharepoint(in actual, there are around 2k items in this list)

Once i get the filtered data, is it possible to assign them dates based on sorting one of those columns in ascending/descending order, and I want to do this all at once. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

e.g the first row date will be 1st Jan,

2nd will be right after x number of days, and third will be x+x+1st Jan etc.

Hi @Anonymous ,

@WarrenBelz These dates will be based on a column in this list. It will be the apps job to populate dates based on this column. What i want to do is, to add multiple dates all at once to a filtered collection based on an existing column.
E.g one column will have values of 10 and 20
So the app will arrange these numbers in descending order first, so 20 will be at top, and will be given a default date of 1st Jan, then next values will base upon 1st Jan + x number of days, and so on ...

@eka24
I already have a column that will hold the date values which the application will assign, but they are all blank currently.
I want to assign dates to these blank fields in this date column based on the numbers column. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

Hi @Anonymous ,
The first thing you need to do is collect the filtered data
ClearCollect( colFirstStage, Filter( MySPList, <However I am filtering it> ) )
Then you can add some numbers to it
Clear(colNextStage); ForAll( FirstStage, Collect( colNextStage, Last( FirstN( AddColumns( FirstStage, "RowNumber", CountRows(colNextStage) + 1 ), CountRows(colNextStage) + 1 ) ) ) )
Then put some dates in it
Clear(colLastStage); ForAll( colNextStage, Collect( colLastStage, AddColumns( colNextStage, "MyDate", DateAdd( YourDatePicker.SelectedDate, RowNumber-1, Days ) ) ) )
You would put the day you wanted to start in the date picker.
