Change Text Data Card to Date Picker

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by BAER_Group 20

Hi there,

 

Very new to Power Apps. I'm looking to change the Target Installation Date data card within the below edit form to show as a date picker/drop down calendar rather than text. Pictured is the column within the source excel. As you can see it's not populating as a date.

This is creating knock on errors for the delete form trash icon and also for the gallery item lookup on the form itself.

    Excel is a terrible data source.  There are all kinds of potential problems with data/time formatting as well as other limitations.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtmZM3tm2Zs   I suggest that you move your data to SharePoint.  You will be much happier in the long run.
