add minutes datacard

Posted on by StanSaggi

Hi, I need help with a desk booking app. I have a choice column in a SharePoint list.

The name of the choice column is 'Desks' is values are:

'Desk 1', 'Desk 2', 'Desk 3', 'Desk 4', 'Desk 5', 'Desk 6', 'Desk 7', 'Desk 8', 'Desk 9', 'Desk 10', 'Desk 11'.

I read the Desks into a datacard dropdown.

I have another choice column in the same SharePoint list, it is called Start_Time, it's values are as follows:

'05:00', '06:00', '07:00', '08:00', '09:00', '10:00'.

I have another choice column in the same SharePoint list, it is called End_Time, it's values are as follows:

'05:00', '06:00', '07:00', '08:00', '09:00', '10:00'.

So I read the times into a datacard dropdowns for the Start_Time and End_Time.

So I first check which desk is booked before I allow the booking so at to prevent duplicate bookings.

So if 'Desk 1' is booked from '05:00' to '09:00', it will not appear in the datacard that is showing the Desks if the user selects the Start_Time '05:00' and End_Time '09:00'.

But if the user selects Start_Time '09:00' to End_Time '10:00', then 'Desk 1' should appear. So for me to test the SharePoint list. I want to add one minute to the Start_Time '09:00' (must become '09:01') and End_Time '10:00' (must become '10:01').

This is for when I check for duplicates.

Can you please tell me how can I add a minute to the choice value in the datacard value.

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Hi @StanSaggi ,

You have not posted your code, but I suspect you are using >= and <= - just use > and <

This is my current code:

Filter(
Choices(DeskBookings.Desks),
LookUp(
  DeskBookings,
  (
  (ReservationDate = DataCardValue2.SelectedDate && Value = Desks.Value && (TimeValue(Start_Time.Value) <= TimeValue(DataCardValue3.Selected.Value))
  && (TimeValue(End_Time.Value) >= TimeValue(DataCardValue3.Selected.Value)))

  || (ReservationDate = DataCardValue2.SelectedDate && Value = Desks.Value && (TimeValue(Start_Time.Value) >= TimeValue(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value))
  && (TimeValue(End_Time.Value) <= TimeValue(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value)))

  //|| (ReservationDate = DataCardValue2.SelectedDate && Value = Desks.Value && (TimeValue(Start_Time.Value) >= (TimeValue(Text(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value), "")))
  //&& (TimeValue(End_Time.Value) <= TimeValue(DateAdd(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value)))

  //|| (ReservationDate = DataCardValue2.SelectedDate && Value = Desks.Value && (TimeValue(Start_Time.Value) >= TimeValue(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value))
  //&& (TimeValue(End_Time.Value) <= TimeValue(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value)))
  ),
ID
) = Blank()
)

I want to add the 1 minute in the last two comparing statements.

This the SQL code I use to check for duplicates and it is working:

AND (convert(datetime, convert(char(12), @ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + @TimeFrom) between
convert(datetime, convert(char(12), ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + TimeFrom) and convert(datetime, convert(char(12), ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + TimeTo)
OR convert(datetime, convert(char(12), @ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + @TimeTo) between
convert(datetime, convert(char(12), ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + TimeFrom) and convert(datetime, convert(char(12), ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + TimeTo)

OR
convert(datetime, convert(char(12), ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + TimeFrom) between
convert(datetime, convert(char(12), @ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + @TimeFroM) and DATEADD(mi,-1,convert(datetime, convert(char(12), @ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + @TimeTo))

OR
convert(datetime, convert(char(12), ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + TimeTo) between
convert(datetime, convert(char(12), @ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + @TimeFrom) and DATEADD(mi,-1,convert(datetime, convert(char(12), @ReservationDate, 111) + ' ' + @TimeTo))
)

Hi @WarrenBelz , I see is not working correctly cause it does not consider the time that is equal to it. It only validates times that are bigger.

E.g. if there is a booking for Desk 1 from '05:00' to '09:00', then it will only validate from '06:00' and not '05:00'.
Then if I select Start_Time '05:00', then it shows Desk 1 as available. Which is not correct. Cause the desk is booked from 05:00.

@StanSaggi ,

You need to use one or the other - if you want to include the time, use <= or >=. If you want to exclude the actual time, use =

Hi @StanSaggi ,

I am confused - 5:01 has the same validation as > 5:00. I am not however an SQL user, so cannot help you with the code you have at the bottom.

Hi @WarrenBelz, could you please check my powerapps code below:

  (ReservationDate = DataCardValue2.SelectedDate && Value = Desks.Value && (TimeValue(Start_Time.Value) < TimeValue(DataCardValue3.Selected.Value))
  && (TimeValue(End_Time.Value) > TimeValue(DataCardValue3.Selected.Value)))

  || (ReservationDate = DataCardValue2.SelectedDate && Value = Desks.Value && (TimeValue(Start_Time.Value) > TimeValue(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value))
  && (TimeValue(End_Time.Value) < TimeValue(DataCardValue4.Selected.Value)))),

Hi @StanSaggi ,

Without actually seeing your model, it looks correct.
