Input date only from edit form

[atray13]

Hi, i am trying to use power apps to update records where one of the fields is a date.

Using the add field option in an edit form, it pulls up a date and time picker. I only want the data to be for date. I have made the hour and minute selection not visible but when a new record is created it still inputs the default times so when looking at the source data the values are all datetimes. 

I have searched a lot for a solution but cannot find one that works, any ideas?

Date fields are actually date and time fields.  When you set them for date only there is still a time component added, but it defaults to midnight.  Just set the default time to midnight and hide the control.

Change the format of the date example:

Is there no way to not include the time? If i were to input just the date directly into excel it would show up as date only.

But if you read a data only column from Excel you will find that it has an implied time unless you format it as a date only value.  Date fields in Excel are stored as the number of milliseconds after a particular point in history, so they always include a time value.  For a Date only field it just isn't displayed but its there.
