Button visibility based on SharePoint date field

[ammdaddy]

Hi. I'd like to have the visibility of a button dependent on a Sharepoint Date and Time column. Basically, I need the button to show only if the date in the column field has occurred.

I tried doing something like this . . .

Now()>=DateValue('SPList'.'DateColumn') 

. . . but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to compare it to a particular row in your table. If you are using a Gallery try this in OnSelect:

Set(var_Selected,ThisItem);

Then in the Visible property of the button you can use:

Now()>=var_Selected.DateColumn

If you aren't using a gallery, you will just need to specify a particular row

Thanks BrianS for your reply. The button is actually on a DetailScreen. I'm new to Power Apps. How do I specify a particular row as you suggest?

@ammdaddy  

if your gallery name is galRows on screen1

and your form is on screen2

On selected item on galRows navigate to sceen2 

Set(varNewFormMode,false);Navigate(Screen2)

and on sceen2 datasource for the form is your list  and item is going to be as below.

If(!varNewFormMode,galRows .Selected)

Thanks Kranthi. I'm a bit more confused than when I started. 🙂   I'm not sure how your suggestion will help show/hide a button based on a the date in a DateTime column. The button's link is already set to navigate to another screen and that works fine. I just need to hide the button until after the date in a date column.

Each field on the screen will be in it's own "Card". That card will have a label and the field. Each of those will have unique name.

If you are using what PowerApps gives yo it will be something like DataCardValue3, so your formula will be along the lines of:

Now()>=DataCardValue3.SelectedDate

for whichever data card is displaying your date column
