I have set up a quiz on my power app, but I want to set up a countdown timer that will display on the different screens during the quiz. I've been stuck on it, I need a way out. Please.

Hi @owoede ,

You can display the actual time in a Label on different screens (in seconds)

TimerName.Value/1000

and if you start it with a Global (Set) Variable, you can start it from any screen.

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback, I've tried that but it doesn't solve the problem. So, the thing is I've set a quiz that spans 5 screens, and I want to set a countdown timer that will not just display on all of the five screens during the quiz but close any of the pages the user is on at the onTimerEnd, navigating them to a final screen that displays their score (I've figured out the scoring aspect).

Have you tried putting the Navigate to the final screen OnTimerEnd ?

Yes, I have, and that works quite alright. I'm just finding it difficult to get the same timer to display on different screens, and even when I try to use a label, the labels just show the timer but don't count down. The label and timer only work given I put everything on one screen.

Maybe I'll just have to settle for having the test on one screen.
