Past data from PowerApp DatePicker into Power Automate

Hi to all, 

I am trying to post a "Date" from a Date Picker field in my App to a Power Automate Flow that creates a folder in SharePoint and updates folder proprieties.

In this Thread (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Trying-to-pass-Date-from-powerapps-to-Flow-to-Sharepoint/td-p/1946520) they suggest using this formula:

 

 

Text(DatePicker1.SelectedDate, "yyyy-mm-dd")

 

 

 

I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but when writing DatePicker1 in my code, the SelectedDate function doesn't appear:

The field DatePicker1 in my App is called dataDecesso.

 

As you can see, I don't have the option .SelectedDate.

 

I have set my flow to receive the data value as follows:

The date that I want to to post in my flow is used to update a property, a date column, of the folder in SharePoint

I searched far and wide on the internet but the only solution provided is the first function I copied on this post.

    So, finally, I understood where the problem was.

    I WAS USING THE WRONG FIELD


    I renamed the text label instead of the date picker field. Now, by changing the name of the date picker field to the correct one, the flow works. I confirm that the original solution is viable.

     

    Sorry for the inconvenience, you can delete this thread.

    Here is the complete formula:

    FuneraleInEntrata.Run(
     cognomeDefunto.Text,
     nomeDefunto.Text,
     responsabileServizio.Selected.DisplayName,
     aziendaServizio.Selected.Value,
     Text(dataDecesso.Se))

     

    In my flow, If I remove the Date field, it works just fine.

    Hi @Gianco ,

     

    It seems Intellisense is thrown off by a fault in your formula. Can you please share the full formula?
