Hello,
I'm working with a Sharepoint list in which there are colums in which a date is stored. Now I want to create a PDF in my PowerApp for each project that is saved in Sharepoint. To do this, I use the collect() function to save the data in a table and then save it in a gallery. For text field, I can just use 'DataCardValue.Text'; for dropdowns I use 'DataCardValue.Selected.Value'. But I can't get the date into the table. How can I do that?
Hi @stine2308 to get the selected date out of the data card value you would use this:
DataCardValue.SelectedDate

Hi @stine2308 It should be ControlName.SelectedDate

Collect(Tabelle;{name: "Order date target"; name2:DataCardValue39_1.SelectedDate})
If I do it like this, it underlines the line in red and says: incompatible type. The collection cannot contain values of this type
@stine2308 Are you setting the values anywhere else try renaming this field as it seems like you are trying to put a date datatype in a field that has already got a set datatype?
Thanks
Andrew
@AndrewR1 I'm using a form that displays the current project. I don't do anything with the data that comes from Sharepoint, I just want to insert it into a gallery so that I can create a PDF from it.
@stine2308
Here is my working example:
I used a form with a Item of the current Movie and then have a button doing this on select I'm not sure what else I can help you with as I cannot replicate this issue!
The Problem was another one: I wanted to save the Date in the same column as text
