Saving Time field in SQL

[mpezzutti]

Hello Everyone

I have two dropdowns controls one for hours (fieldname: Dropdownhour) and the other for minutes (fieldname: Dropdownminute)      I need to save these values in a SQL backend in a Time field called End_time.

I do not how to patch these two values together in the End_Time field 

Thank you to all of you that have read my query

You can create a single 'time' type value from your dropdowns like this.

Time(
    Value(dropdownhour.Selected.Value),
    Value(dropdownminute.Selected.Value),
    0
)

Use it in a patch statement like this.

Patch(
    your_datasource_name,
    LookUp(your_datasource_name, ID = yourRecordID,
    Time(
        Value(dropdownhour.Selected.Value),
        Value(dropdownminute.Selected.Value),
        0
    )
)

Let me know if your SQL time field needs to follow any particular format or if this just works.

Thank you so much this worked!

The only thing I had to do was put a value around the dropdown therefore 

, Time( Value(dropdownhour.Selected.Value), Value(dropdownminute.Selected.Value), 0 ) )

Other than that it worked

Thanks again !!

I've edited the solution to include the Value() function now.  Whether its required depends on what data types are in the dropdown: Text or Number.
