How to change the date format when patching SP

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hi all!

I want to patch a "date & time" column on SharePoint and Date: Now() is working OK on the app, pathing SharePoint with the value eg: 09/24/2021

 

Patch(Transactions,

Defaults(Transactions),

{

Title: Gallery1.Selected.Title,

Date: Now()

}

)

 

but what if I want to change the format of the date on how it is patched on SP? If I use Text( Now(),"[$-en-US]dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm"), it gives me an error that this is text while SP waits for date type.

Ideally I would want to store it on SP like DD/MM/YYY hh:mm

 

Any idea? 

Thank you!

    Hi @PerKou,

    Have you solved you problem?

    Do you want to format your date time as "DD/MM/YYY hh:mm" and save it to your "date & time" column on SharePoint?

    Could you please tell me that if your date and time column allows time?

     

    1). Make sure that your Date and time column includes time:

    2). Modify your formula as below:

    Patch(Transactions,
    Defaults(Transactions),
    {
    Title: Gallery1.Selected.Title,
    Date: Now()
    }
    )

    Check if this could help you at some degree.
