How do I setup this recurring planner task

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TrevorG 8

So I am trying to setup a few recurring task, However I want some of the info to be entered dynamically.

So in the due date how do I let it dynamically set it to be exactly a week from the start date? I am guessing you take the start date and add 7? So we can do the now function again and add 7? is this the best way?

 

How can I also dynamically increment the title to say something like this. Weekly Task (week 5) where 5 is the 5th week of the year.

    Hi @TrevorG ,

     

    For the first question, you could create two variables 1 stands for today, the other use variable1 to get the date a week after. Both variables are Text format. Then you could use

     

     

    FormatDateTime(variables('utcNow+7'))

     

     

    in Expression to get the date value:

    For the second question, you could add a label to count the week number and use the result in the Flow:

    The formula of counting week numbers is from:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/How-to-calculate-week-number/td-p/20161/page/3

    Ok let me try it then I will comment. I have a question first though 

     

    Screenshot 2020-12-22 080938.jpg

    What is the difference between 'create a task' and 'create a task (preview)'

     

    **Update**

    Also shouldn't that utcNow+7 be just Now+7 since thats the name of the variable we created? I am new to this its my very first flow. And how did you enter the script for the title?

  • v-jefferni Profile Picture

    Hi @TrevorG ,

     

    For the first question, tiny little difference between them, the preview one has the parameter "Priority" which could help set priority of the task in the Flow. You could refer to below doc to know about other actions:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/planner/#create-a-task

     

    For your second question, ah you are right it's a typo. The title just use "Ask in PowerApps", since with the formula in a Label, we could use Label.Text in the Flow to pass the message.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Yes that helps. It working well except for the title I have not found where I need to put that very long script. can you help me with that?

    Hi @TrevorG ,

     

    Sorry for the delay. But you need to look into my above post and follow the steps. You could add a Label and apply the long codes on the Text property. Then the Label.Text is the result of the week number and you could leverage the result in your flow.

     

    Hope this helps.
