Error in Patch statement for date value

[SumanKoduri]

Hi all,

I'm trying to update a record in my table based on 2 fields

I'm facing problem in selecting data based on Tag id and date value. It's not taking date value

Patch( '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', LookUp( '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', C5010_TAG_ID = Gallery1.Selected.TAG_ID && C5010E_ACTIVE_FL = 1 && C5010E_LAST_TRANS_ID = Gallery1.Selected.C526_PRODUCT_REQUEST_DETAIL_ID && C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE = Text(Gallery1.Selected.PLACEMENT_DATE,"[$-en-US]dd/mmm/yyyy") ), {C5010E_ACTIVE_FL: 0} );

Hi @SumanKoduri ,

You are trying to compare a Text value with a Date value.

There are other patterns available, but the one I use is

Patch(
   '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]',
   LookUp(
      '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', 
      C5010_TAG_ID = Gallery1.Selected.TAG_ID && 
      C5010E_ACTIVE_FL = 1 && 
      C5010E_LAST_TRANS_ID = Gallery1.Selected.C526_PRODUCT_REQUEST_DETAIL_ID &&
      DateDiff(
          C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE, 
          Gallery1.Selected.PLACEMENT_DATE
      )=0
   ), 
   {C5010E_ACTIVE_FL: 0}
)

it still not updated in db and showing date field value as invalid

@SumanKoduri ,

Blue lines are a Delegation error - nothing to do with validity of the code. Date filters are not delegable.

One workaround is to have a numeric field updated each time the date picker is changed set to 

Value(
   Text(
      YourDateControlName.SelectedDate,
      "[$-en-US]yyyymmdd"
   )
)

then you can do a delegable search directly on this field

Value(Text(Gallery1.Selected.PLACEMENT_DATE,"[$-en-US]yyyymmdd")) = YourNumericFieldName

Hi @SumanKoduri ,

Could you please share a bit more about the "C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE" field in your Table? Is it a Date time type column?

I have made a test on my side, please consider modify your formula as below:

Patch(
       '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', 
       LookUp(
               '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', 
               C5010_TAG_ID = Gallery1.Selected.TAG_ID && 
               C5010E_ACTIVE_FL = 1 && 
               C5010E_LAST_TRANS_ID = Gallery1.Selected.C526_PRODUCT_REQUEST_DETAIL_ID && 
               DateValue(Text(C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)) = DateValue(Text(Gallery1.Selected.PLACEMENT_DATE, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)) 
        ), 
        {
           C5010E_ACTIVE_FL: 0
        }
);

Please consider take a try with above formula within your app, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

[SumanKoduri]

It is a date field

Hi @SumanKoduri ,

Is the "C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE" column a Date Time type column in your SQL Table?

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think this issue may be related to Time Zone. If you create a Date Time type column in your SQL Table, when retrieving the date time value within PowerApps, the date time value may be rendered as a different date time value (due to Time Zone issue).

Actually, it is an known issue with date time field in SQL Table -- when using datetime (and friends) in SQL with PowerApps, then you may have the offset issues.

Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:

Patch(
       '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', 
       LookUp(
               '[GLOBUS_APP].[T5010E_TAG_REQ_FAM]', 
               C5010_TAG_ID = Gallery1.Selected.TAG_ID && 
               C5010E_ACTIVE_FL = 1 && 
               C5010E_LAST_TRANS_ID = Gallery1.Selected.C526_PRODUCT_REQUEST_DETAIL_ID && 
               DateValue(
                          Text(
                                DateAdd(C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE, TimeZoneOffset(C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE), Minutes),                    // Modify formula here
                                DateTimeFormat.ShortDate
                          )
               ) = DateValue(Text(Gallery1.Selected.PLACEMENT_DATE, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate)) 
        ), 
        {
           C5010E_ACTIVE_FL: 0
        }
);

Please take a try with above formula, then check if the issue is solved.

You could also consider change the data type of the "C5010E_PLACEMENT_DATE" column in your SQL Table from Date time to datetimeoffset type, then you would not suffer from the Time Zone issue within your canvas app.
