Patching selected dates and times to a sharepoint list.

Posted on by DMCornelius

Greetings everyone,

I need some help with figuring out how to push a selected date and time out of powerapps into a sharepoint date column.

I have 4 inputs that I am using to gather the information in the app:

A date picker for the date.

3 separate dropdowns: 1 that contains 1-12 for the hour, 1 that contains 1-60 for the minutes, and the last contains AM/PM.

I then put a label on the screen and set its Text property to:

The label returns what I would expect:

I put the above code into a patch function, and it successfully pushes a datetime through. However, it is not pushing the correct time.

So I have 2 problems:

1.) My timezone is off. Is there a way to set the timezone within powerapps? (I am in EST)

2.) My minutes aren't going through.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks everyone, and have a great day.

What is your formula for your Patch function?

Formula looks good. But (beside the time difference - which is a list setting, not a PowerApps issue) the minutes are off. So what is the Items property of the IncidentTimeMinute control?

It is just a manual list of the numbers 1-60, as follows:

["1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14","15","16","17","18","19","20","21","22","23","24","25","26","27","28","29","30","31","32","33","34","35","36","37","38","39","40","41","42","43","44","45","46","47","48","49","50","51","52","53","54","55","56","57","58","59","60"]

I appreciate your help with this!

So that Items list will cause some issues in the single digit minutes conversion.

Change that Items to: ForAll(Sequence(60, 0), Text(Value, "00"))

This will provide the proper set of minutes in the proper format.

Now...combining your issues together to explore:

There is no reason that I can tell based on your post image as to why 7:42 AM EST would convert to 4:00 PM. That is a (beside the minutes) 9 hour difference. Normally, for EST you would only see a 5 hour difference based on UTC.

So - what is the regional setting of your list? And, we still need to determine why your minutes are not correct.
