Posted on by CU17012318-0
I keep getting this error the string was not recognized as a valid datetime. there is a unknown word starting at index 1.
 
I am trying to patch a date input and 3 drop downs for hour, minutes and AM/PM to a single line of text. I created a collection to store the data, but it keeps saying the same error.
 
Any help would be appreciated.

    Firstly, can you please remember to post your code in Text - saves re-typing here. The code below is OCR'd so watch spelling.
    If you are using something similar to this blog of mine, and are trying to convert it into a valid date/time to update a field of that type, the first one is 
    'Departure Date': 
dp_Departure.SelectedDate + 
Time(
   If(
      dd_DeparturePM.Selected.Value = "PM", 
      12, 
      0
   ) + 
   Mod(Value(dd_DepartureHour.Selected.Value), 12), 
   Value(dd_DepartureMin.Selected.Value),
   0
)
