This is a canvas app connecting to an Azure MS SQL database. The data field contains date/time. The filter is to get all records matching a specific date from DatePicker (even if I hard code a specific date in the Filter, still wrong result). Records contains date/time starting at 12:xx am of the filter date are omitted. Records starting at 12:xx am of the next date are included in the result.

For example, the search date is 5/21/2022. Records with date 5/22/2022 12: 05 am is returned, but record with date 5/21/2022 12:05 am is not. I suspect this has something to do with time zone.

Code:

Filter(Attendance,
checkIn >= DatePicker1.SelectedDate,
checkIn < DateAdd(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, 1, Days))

Hello, @tedqn77 , Try this:
Filter(AddColumns(Attendance, "checkInDateOnly", Text(checkIn, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)), checkInDateOnly >= DatePicker1.SelectedDate, checkInDateOnly < DateAdd(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, 1, Days))

Thank you for the idea of adding column with truncated date/time into date. I was able to use your syntax with modification to make it work. The newly added column is a text type so it complains incompatible type conversion so I have to convert it back to date. And since it's just a date I can directly compare with the DatePicker.SelectedDate

Filter(AddColumns(MealAttendance, "checkInDateOnly", Text(checkIn, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)),
DateValue(checkInDateOnly) = DatePicker1.SelectedDate)
