Date filter issue

[sshiny]

I am trying to bring in a validation if the tag ID is entered more than once on the same daY and this is my code. The value is always false. Please suggest a workaround.

UpdateContext(

{
tagexists: If(
LookUp(
'[GLOBUS_APP].[T5007_RETURNS_LOG_DETAIL]',
C5010_TAG_ID = txtTagNumber.Text && Text(DateAdd(C5007_PROCESSED_DATE,TimeZoneOffset(),Minutes),"[$-en-US]mm/dd/yyyy") = Text(DateAdd(Today(),TimeZoneOffset(),Minutes),"[$-en-US]mm/dd/yyyy") ,
true
),
true,
false
)
}
);

Hi @sshiny ,

Firstly, you do not need the If/true/false when setting a Boolean Variable and I have also not considered your data logic as I am not clear on the Text/TimeZoneOffset, however you need to test if the lookup returns any records

UpdateContext(
   {
      tagexists: 
      !IsBlank(         
         LookUp(
            '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5007_RETURNS_LOG_DETAIL]',
            C5010_TAG_ID = txtTagNumber.Text && 
            Text(DateAdd(C5007_PROCESSED_DATE,TimeZoneOffset(),Minutes),"[$-en-US]mm/dd/yyyy") = 
            Text(DateAdd(Today(),TimeZoneOffset(),Minutes),"[$-en-US]mm/dd/yyyy"
         )
      )
   }
)

@WarrenBelz Eventhough there is a tag number in todays date it is returning false

@sshiny ,
As I noted, I had not considered your logic as I was unsure what you were doing with the text conversion in the dates and timezone offset - I would normally approach it something like this

UpdateContext(
   {
      tagexists: 
      !IsBlank(         
         LookUp(
            '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5007_RETURNS_LOG_DETAIL]',
            C5010_TAG_ID = txtTagNumber.Text && 
            IsToday(C5007_PROCESSED_DATE)
         )
      )
   }
)

@WarrenBelz Not yet, it is still returning false.

@sshiny ,'

You could try this with a field value

UpdateContext(
   {
      tagexists: 
      !IsBlank(         
         LookUp(
            '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5007_RETURNS_LOG_DETAIL]',
            C5010_TAG_ID = txtTagNumber.Text && 
            IsToday(C5007_PROCESSED_DATE)
         ).C5007_PROCESSED_DATE
      )
   }
)

but the syntax will return true if you have a record in '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5007_RETURNS_LOG_DETAIL]' where C5010_TAG_ID equals the Text Box txtTagNumber AND C5007_PROCESSED_DATE is the current date. Please check your data to see if this is the issue.
