Time differenance selection

Posted on by Aliwells6321

Hello so I'm trying to work out how I would do the following and Google and YouTube have been no help.

 

So I have a text in put in a edit/view form that display the time and date as 20/09/2023 00:00(it's like this as I couldn't get the list to accept the time and date when the column was set to date. The time and date is put into list from a different screen i manually set up that also sends out a outlook meeting request.)

 

If the time and date is in the past then on selection of a button i want to go to one screen if the date is in the future go to another. 

 

Even if it was two separate buttons and they are only visible due to certain dates. How do I get the if formula to read the text input date as text to create a if formula?

 

I can send screen shots if required

    If(DateDiff(Now(),DateValue1.SelectedDate,TimeUnit.Days) < 0, Navigate(InPastScreen), Navigate(InFutureScreen))

     

    DateDiff will return the difference between 2 dates in the specified time unit. This means we want to see how many days are between Now() and the selected date in the date picker. If the date is in the past then the function will return a negative number saying that it is in the past and if the number is positive then you are in the future or after todays date. The only thing you have to decide now is which side the 0 will go to. If you want 0 to be past then it will be <= 0 and if you want 0 to count as the future then you can leave it as is.
