Hi,

 

I have a date & time data card and within this I have a date picker and hour and minute values. The default property of the data card is set to Now() and the hour and minute values pick up this fine. However, I have tried using Text(Parent.Default, "dd/mm/yyyy") on the default date of the date picker but it comes up with 1/9/2024 but today is 13/09/2023? Even the formula shows this in the formula box at the top of the screen. Can someone advise please?

 

Thanks

    Hi @BS10 

     

     Set directly DefaultDate property of a date picker control to the Today() or Now() function.

     

    Refer link: How to: Default a date field to today's date in PowerApps - Corey Roth [MVP] (dotnetmafia.com)

     

     

    Thanks!
