Auto set Date for DatePicker by condition

[Phu_Le]

Hi all,

I want to auto set date for DatePicker by If Like

if(A=B, Set(DatePicker.SelectedDate=Today()))

but it doesn't work. Can we SET date for Datepicker?

(I Still want to keep DefaultDate = Parent.Default for showing Parent.Default Date on Re-EditScreen). Thank!

Hi @Phu_Le 

You can create a variable either on App Start or Page "On Visible" property to check the condition and set the value.

Set(SelectedDatevar,If(A=B,Today(),Blank()))

Now, you can reference this variable in the "Default" property of your DatePicker.

Also, if you want to set this variable again on some action, you can use the same expression.

Hope this Helps!

Hi @yashag2255 

I don't want to create a variance in DefaultDate of DatePicker1, because of when I push at Re-Edit in DetailScreen, That Datepicker can't show the history date that corresponding to last or other Submit

In my case, I want DatePicker1 to show the today date when I click on button Negotiation

My code Onselect of Button: DatePicker1.SelectedDate = Now()

but it doesn't work friend, can we have another way to Auto Set Date for DatePicker?

Hi @Phu_Le 

We don't have any such functionality in PowerApps to directly update a control's value. The expression that you want to use, basically does a comparison and returns a Boolean value, which is not needed in your case.

As a workaround, you can set separate values for different form modes, you can modify your expression as:

If(Form1.Mode = New, SelectedDatevar ,Parent.Default)

Hope this Helps!
