Refresh Now() in a label with timer

[sanderson82]

I have a one screen app with a gallery displaying on a tv screen and a timer set to refresh the data every hour.  I've been asked to show date/time of the last refresh.

I've added a label with the text : "Last Refresh: " & Now()

Can someone advise how I can refresh the text in the label using the existing timer that refreshes my datasource?

Many thanks

Instead of using Now() in the label set the label to use the value of a variable.  Then in the timerEnd property of the timer set the value of that variable to a formatted time string using Now().  That will automatically update the label.

Thanks @Pstork1  I have attempted this but still no joy.

Screen1 OnVisible: Set(RTime,Text( Now(), "[$-en-GB]mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm" ))

Label: "Last Refresh: " & Text(RTime)

OnTimerEnd: Set(RTime,Text( Now(), "[$-en-GB]mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm" ))

Try the following instead.

Set OnStart for the app instead of Screen onVisible to 

set(RTime, Now())

Set the Label to 

Concatenate("last refreshed: ",Text(RTime,"[$-en-GB]mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm" ))

 Set the timerEnd  to

set(RTime, Now())

Make sure timer is set to AutoStart
