Hey Community,
I am working on an application for our company, one of the requirements is that the application should generate a request ID and the format of the ID should be the Employee's Name concatenated with the date and time (the date and time should be the current date and time when the request is raised and the time should include the seconds), an example would end up looking like this (EmployeeName_11132018080412).To break it down (EmployeeName_mm/dd/yy/hh:mm:ss, however this is all formated as a text value and can not be edited by the user.Please, I need some help on this.
Regards,
Silas
Hello SilasCyro,You can try this..Label1.Text= Concatenate(User().FullName,"_",Text(Now(),"ddmmyyyyhhmmss"))
Hey @Mike8
Works like a charm
Thanks so much for the assistance.
Great 🙂I would also recommend to check this.https://baizini-it.com/blog/index.php/2017/08/29/powerapps-user-function-cache-current-user-onstart/And replace the User() with a global variable that you set OnStart of the application.
Hi @Mike8
