Filter a Gallery of Outlook Calendar Items to Show only AM Records

[cycle4passion]

For reference:

_dateSelected is Type of Text and hold "1/18/2021 12:00 AM"

MyCalendarEvents hold Events for the entire current day.

 originally, I had Gallery Items set to:

SortByColumns(MyCalendarEvents, "Start")

And this displays the events of the day correctly

Then I tried

SortByColumns(Filter(MyCalendarEvents, End < DateTimeValue(Text(_dateSelected, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) & " 12:00 PM"), DateTimeFormat.ShortTime), "Start")

and then

SortByColumns(Filter(MyCalendarEvents, DateDiff(End, DateTimeValue(Text(_dateSelected, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) & " 12:00 PM")) < 0, DateTimeFormat.ShortTime), "Start")

and it does not display any records. Thanks for considering

HI @cycle4passion ,

Assuming your _dateselected is Text, it would be something like this

SortByColumns(
   Filter(
      MyCalendarEvents, 
      End <
      DateAdd(
         DateValue(_dateSelected),
         1,
         Days
      ) &&
      Start >
      DateValue(_dateSelected)
   )
)

If it actually a Date value, this might do it

SortByColumns(
   Filter(
      MyCalendarEvents, 
      End <
      DateAdd(
         _dateSelected,
         1,
         Days
       ) &&
      Start >
      _dateSelected
   )
)

Hi @cycle4passion ,

Following your formula, I tend to think that you want to filter the sessions that end until 12:00 PM on current day.
So if my supposition is correct, your formula needs a small corection as End value from MyCalendarEvents collection is a dateTimeValue, like this:
SortByColumns(Filter(MyCalendarEvents, End < DateTimeValue(Text(_dateSelected, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) & " 12:00 PM")), "Start")

Actually, I'm quite sure that:

DateTimeValue(Text(_dateSelected, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate) & " 12:00 PM"), DateTimeFormat.ShortTime)

does not retrive a  value. You can put this formula inside a text property of a label control to see the real value (i think that you get a empty string).  

Hope it helps !
