Can I ask u how to sort the gallery -- I use the start date and end date as date field and Start time and end time as text field which I saw in April video Date Rang but she didn't show the full so I am confused she uses dropdown for the date - drop.selected.date in powerapps sort but she mention it's a date field and time is text field.

 

Gallery - sort(filter(list, date >= dropdown.selected.startdate && date <=dropdown.selected.enddate), Date, Descending

Hi @bbsin 

 

For missing records, we are missing = sign (first and last day record was missing). Please update the below formula 

 

SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        AdminEventInfo,
        IsBlank(CalculatedStartdate) || (StartDate >= CalculatedStartdate && EndDate <= CalculatedEnddate)
    ),
    "StartDate",
    If(
        IsBlank(SortDescending1) || SortDescending1,
        Descending,
        Ascending
    )
)

I don't think we can sort the text field as the date. We need to create a collection with the transformation which converts Start Date & Time to one field with DateTime format. Then we can do regular sorting

 

SortByColumns(Filter([Issuetracker], StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text)), "DateReported", If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending))

Hi @StalinPonnusamy 

 

I dont have a search box .. the top is a drop down.. 

is the Date Reported  = Start Date?  how abt the time?

is it like that?  Thanks

 

Start date and time are using input text box

SP for time is text single .. must I change?

 

SortByColumns(Filter(list], StartsWith(StartDate, dpbox.Text)), "StartDate", If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending))

Hi @bbsin

 

My recommendation is to change the column in SP to Data and time type as a single field which is appropriate. So that you don't need to worry about the conversation in all other places.

 

On dropdown change event find startdate and enddate based on the selection and always use those dates in the filter

Dropdown/Combobox onchange event

If(
    ComboBox1.Selected.Value = "ThisMonth",
    Set(
        Startdate,
        DateValue(Month(Now()) & "/1/" & Year(Now()))
    );
    Set(
        Enddate,
        Today()
    )
);
If(
    ComboBox1.Selected.Value = "LastMonth",
    Set(
        Startdate,
        DateValue(Month(Now())-1 & "/1/" & Year(Now()))
    );
    Set(
        Enddate,
        DateAdd(DateValue(Month(Now())-1 & "/31" &"/" & Year(Now())),-1,Days)
    )
);

Gallary Filter

 

SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        [@Accounts],
        'Created On' > Startdate && 'Created On' < Enddate
    ),
    "accountnumber",
    If(
        SortDescending1,
        Descending,
        Ascending
    )
)

Hi @StalinPonnusamy 

 

To clarify, - My recommendation is to change the column in SP to Data and time type as a single field which is appropriate. 

 

do you mean to change the time column or date column to singleline of text?  Thanks

Change both fields as single field and data type as "Date & Time" like below

 

StalinPonnusamy_0-1626154819551.png

If combining is not possible then we need to do the transformation from data source to collection and apply filter

Hi  @StalinPonnusamy 

 

I cannot get it..

bbsin_1-1630309570663.png

 

 

 

SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        [@Accounts],
        'Created On' > Startdate && 'Created On' < Enddate
    ),
    "accountnumber",
    If(
        SortDescending1,
        Descending,
        Ascending
    )
)

am back to try out to build this.. but what is account number ??

 

is @Account the  SP name and I want to sort by title and date descending.  - nothing show up?

 

Filter(
AdminEventInfo,
StartDate > Startdate && EndDate < Enddate
),
Title,
If(
SortDescending1,
Descending,
Ascending
)
)

Hi @bbsin 

 

Edited: Added to get Start and end date for each dropdown option.

 

1. Place dropdown and set the Items property to 

 

["This Week","This Month","Previous Month","Next Month"]

 

2. Set Onchange property of Dropdown to (Change to your dropdownname instead of Dropdown6)

 

If(
    Dropdown6.Selected.Value = "This Month",
    Set(
        CalculatedStartdate,
        DateValue(Month(Now()) & "/1/" & Year(Now()))
    );
    Set(
        CalculatedEnddate,
        Today()
    )
);
If(
    Dropdown6.Selected.Value = "Previous Month",
    Set(
        CalculatedStartdate,
        DateValue(Month(Now()) - 1 & "/1/" & Year(Now()))
    );
    Set(
        CalculatedEnddate,
        DateAdd(
            DateValue(Month(Now()) - 1 & "/31" & "/" & Year(Now())),
            -1,
            Days
        )
    )
);
If(
    Dropdown6.Selected.Value = "Next Month",
    Set(
        CalculatedStartdate,
        DateValue(Month(Now()) + 1 & "/1/" & Year(Now()))
    );
    Set(
        CalculatedEnddate,
        DateAdd(
            DateValue(Month(Now()) + 1 & "/31" & "/" & Year(Now())),
            -1,
            Days
        )
    )
);
If(
    Dropdown6.Selected.Value = "This Week",
    Set(
        CalculatedStartdate,
        DateAdd(
            Now(),
            -(Weekday(
                Now(),
                StartOfWeek.MondayZero
            )),
            Days
        )
    );
    Set(
        CalculatedEnddate,
        DateAdd(
            Now(),
            6-(Weekday(
                Now(),
                StartOfWeek.MondayZero
            )),
            Days
        )
    )
);

 

 3. Gallery Items property to

 

SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        AdminEventInfo,
        StartDate > CalculatedStartdate && EndDate < CalculatedEnddate
    ),
    "Title",
    If(
        SortDescending1,
        Descending,
        Ascending
    )
)

Hi @bbsin 

 

SortDescending1 is a variable for sorting

 

Option 1: (Always Descending by Startdate)

 

SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        AdminEventInfo,
        StartDate > CalculatedStartdate && EndDate < CalculatedEnddate
    ),
    "StartDate",
    Descending
)

 

 

Option 2: if you need sorting to toggle like Ascending and descending alternatively then

 

  • Add icon and set Onselect property to
  • UpdateContext({SortDescending1: !SortDescending1})
  • Set Gallery Items Property to
  • SortByColumns( Filter( AdminEventInfo, StartDate > CalculatedStartdate && EndDate < CalculatedEnddate ), "StartDate", If( SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending ) )
