SharePoint Delegation and Filters with DateTime Columns

Like (0) ShareShare

Posted on 22 May 2025 19:14:22 by CU22051816-0 8
Hello Y'all,
 
Newbie here. I'm trying to use a formula to filter by the Date/Time column I have called 'Status'. I got it to work but not without delegation errors of course. Is there a way to make this formula without StartsWith? At least that is what I think is causing the error. Formula in Items for the Gallery;
 
SortByColumns(Filter([@'Paid Time Off (PTO)'], StartsWith(Start,TextSearchBox1.Text)), "Start", If(SortDescending1, SortOrder.Descending, SortOrder.Ascending))
 
Also, would it be possible to add on a filter using the datetime columns with datepicker to filter a range of items between those dates? I've searched YouTube and the web with no luck on this. At least not without Delegation or Boolean errors so nothing to work off of there I can provide besides the date picker names:
 
dpStartDate
dpEndDate
 
Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated!

    That is exactly how I was wanting to do it, search by a certain date format. That did it! I just had to "reconnect" the data source for the items to show when selected for some reason.
     
    Thanks for your help!!

    Sorry, still a bit lost here - if Start is a Date/Time column how exactly are you wanting to search on it other than between the two date pickers ? Are you wanting to search on another field or if you wanted to search on a particular date format 
    With(
   {
      _Data:
      Filter(
         [@'Paid Time Off (PTO)'], 
         DateFieldName >= StartDatePicker.SelectedDate &&
         DateFieldName <= EndDatePicker.SelectedDate
      )
   },
   SortByColumns(
      Search(
         AddColumns(
            _Data,
            DateText,
            Text(Start, "ddd d mmm yyyy")
         ),			
         TextSearchBox1.Text,
         DateText
      ),
      "Start",
      If(
         SortDescending1, 
         SortOrder.Descending, 
         SortOrder.Ascending
      )
   )
)

    It is a Date and Time Column in SharePoint. End state would be for it to filter by the current user (Office365 Users Connected) with a checkbox to where they can see all items. If they know the start date of their request they could search by the date or search between a range. I dont know if that is the best way but that was the vision.

    I was expecting it to be of Text type as well as you used StartsWith() in your post. What type is it and how exactly are you expecting it to filter ?

    Good morning @WarrenBelz
     
    Hope your coffee is strong this morning and problems are few!
     
    I am getting an invalid argument error at search. It is excepting the column "Start" to be a text type.
     
    With(
       {
          _Data:
          Filter(
             [@'Paid Time Off (PTO)'],
             Start >= dpStartDate.SelectedDate &&
             End <= dpEndDate.SelectedDate
          )
       },
       SortByColumns(
          Search(
             _Data,
             TextSearchBox1.Text,
             Start
          ),
          "Start",
          If(
             SortDescending1,
             SortOrder.Descending,
             SortOrder.Ascending
          )
       )
    )

    Something like this should do it - note that the top filter (between the dates) needs to return record numbers (the list can be of any size) less than your Data Row Limit for full results to be returned. 
    With(
   {
      _Data:
      Filter(
         [@'Paid Time Off (PTO)'], 
         DateFieldName >= StartDatePicker.SelectedDate &&
         DateFieldName <= EndDatePicker.SelectedDate
      )
   },
   SortByColumns(
      Search(
         _Data, 
         TextSearchBox1.Text,
         Start
      ),
      "Start",
      If(
         SortDescending1, 
         SortOrder.Descending, 
         SortOrder.Ascending
      )
   )
)
