I'm building a flow that will create a SharePoint Event Calendar item. The users have entered the start and end dates in a form. How do I make this an all day event?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could add a Compose to save the date firstly, and then you could format the date time as my screenshot below:

Expression for the start time as below:

formatDateTime(outputs('Compose'),'yyyy-MM-ddT00:00:00Z')

Expression for the end time as below:

formatDateTime(outputs('Compose_2'),'yyyy-MM-ddT23:59:00Z')

Best regards,

Alice

Thank you both for the reply. Unfortunately it still puts in the time for the calendar event. Basically I need it to check the box in the event that says 'All Day Event'

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have made a test on my side and couldn't find a way to add the All Day Event to the sharepoint Calendar list so we could see the column in flow, as @ChristianAbata said, I'm afraid that there is no any way to achieve the requirement.

Best Regards,

Alice

Re: Create Item for SharePoint Event Calendar - All Day Event

I've been searching for answers on this one and all the way back in 2015 this was a problem. I just created a tax calendar for the business. 1500 rows inserted. Flipping these one by one to All Day just to get the time off the calendar display is really not a good solution.

Re: Create Item for SharePoint Event Calendar - All Day Event

So the easiest way to do this is to actually have a normal list in calendar view instead of a calendar app/event list. I tried six ways to sunday to get it to work with the calendar app to no avail. A normal list with a calendar view set to default solved my problem.

My scenario is a vacation calendar for my employees. I have a form with start/end dates, employee name, and employee email address. After an approval, I add a row to a spreadsheet for my own tracking and then create an item in the list with the data from the spreadsheet. End result is a single entry in the calendar view with no times.

The problem with this is that when you create a SharePoint list and then create a calendar view, it cannot be connected to Outlook. Only calendars created using the SP calendar app can be connected, and there is no way within Power Automate to tick the check boxes 🙄
