PowerApps Date Picker

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by tonythetiger

I have a PowerApp with a date picker, to choose a date for items which show in a gallery.

I'm trying to have two separate buttons on the same screen to change the value in the date picker, rather than clicking the date picker and manually choosing the date. I just need a "Today" button and a "Yesterday" button (other dates will be manually selected as usual in the picker), to make it more user friendly.

I'd have thought this is fairly simple using the "OnSelect" for each button to change the value in the date picker, unless I am missing something (I'm fairly new to PowerApps).

Can anyone guide me please? Thank you :)

Hi,

In the OnVisible Property of the Screen add this

Set(DefaultDateValue, Today()); // have it default to today or Yesterday doesnt matter

In the DefaultDate Property of the Picker Put DefaultDatevalue

in the Buttons Onselects

Either put

Set(DefaultDateValue, Today());

Or

Set(DefaultDateValue, DateAdd(Today(), -1,); // note days is the Default increment to add

and now it will do what you said.
