Filter Gallery on date time with today in Dataverse

[abdwbg1]

"Event Start Date Time" and "Event End Date Time" are the names of my two columns. I have to display the list of ongoing events after filtering it.

Scenario for Active Events Filter

The start time should exceed the "Event Start Date Time" and "Event Start Date Time" should equal today's date. If the time is 11 AM right now, I have to disregard all events that finished earlier. For instance, 9 AM–10 PM.

I must mention the forthcoming occurrences. Since it is currently 11 AM, I must display all of today's events from that point on until whatever time it finishes.

I also need to list any events that begin today and conclude tomorrow, such as

It is 7/7/2024 today and 8/7/2024 tomorrow.

As an illustration, the events begin today at 7/7/2024 8:30 PM and end at 8/7/2024 9 AM.

My Filter Query 

Set(gblDateToday, Today());

Set(gblDateTomorrow, DateAdd(gblDateToday,1,TimeUnit.Days));

ClearCollect(

    collActiveEvents,

    Filter('Events', ('Event Start Date and Time'  >= gblDateToday && 'Event Start Date and Time' < gblDateTomorrow)   && (Status = 'Status (Events)'.Active) )

);

   RemoveIf(collActiveEvents, 'Event End Date and Time' < Now());

ClearCollect(

    collActiveEvents1,

    Filter('Events',   ('Event Start Date and Time'  <=   Now()  && 'Event End Date and Time' >=  Now())  && (Status = 'Status (Events)'.Active))

);

 RemoveIf(collActiveEvents1, 'Event End Date and Time' < Now());

It's working for all the scenario except if any events starts Today after 6:30PM. Both columns are Date & Time Columns and Time zone independent in Dataverse.

Hi @abdwbg1 ,

Try this format 

With(
   {
      _Start: Now(),
      _Next:
      DateAdd(
         Today(),
         1,
         TimeUnit.Days
      ),
      _End: 
      DateAdd(
         Today(),
         2,
         TimeUnit.Days
      )
   },
   ClearCollect(
      collActiveEvents,
      Filter(
         'Events', 
         Status = 'Status (Events)'.Active &&
         'Event Start Date and Time' >= _Start && 
         'Event Start Date and Time' < _Next && 
         'Event End Date and Time' < _End
      )
   )
);

Thanks for your response. It's throwing delegation warning. Please find the attached screenshot.   

Also  this filter not works for events start today and ends tomorrow. 

Please find the Dataverse screenshot. Highlighted in green should be display in gallery and red should not display in gallery.  

Here is the Dataverse screenshot, please. Green-highlighted content ought to be shown in the gallery, whereas red content shouldn't be shown there.

@abdwbg1 ,

You can try with Variables - I would have thought it should be Delegable

UpdateContext(
   {
      varStart: Now(),
      varNext: 
      DateAdd(
         Today(),
         1,
         TimeUnit.Days
      ),
      varEnd: 
      DateAdd(
         Today(),
         2,
         TimeUnit.Days
      )
   }
);
ClearCollect(
   collActiveEvents,
   Filter(
      'Events', 
      Status = 'Status (Events)'.Active &&
      'Event Start Date and Time' >= varStart && 
      'Event Start Date and Time' < varNext && 
      'Event End Date and Time' < varEnd
   )
);

As for the filter, I followed what I thought were your requirements for two Date and Time Fields

• 'Event Start Date and Time' needs to be on the current day after the current time AND
• 'Event End Date and Time' needs to be either on the current day or the next day AND
• Status needs to be Active

Is any of that incorrect ?

Hi Thanks for quick reply,

As per your recent changes my gallery is looks below. Still it's not working since my time now is 10:50AM, "Today's inactive events" should not display since event end time (8:30AM) is already completed. Also I want to display "Todays' post 7pm events" in the gallery.

@abdwbg1 ,

I am a bit lost on that one as effectively this line

'Event Start Date and Time' >= varStart

where varStart is Now() should not show anything before the current time. You may have a record with the start time after the end time.

[abdwbg1]

Please check the table below. First four items should come and last row should not display in gallery.

@abdwbg1 ,

If you do this

ClearCollect(
   collActiveEvents,
   Filter(
      'Events', 
      'Event Start Date and Time' >= Now()
   )
);

do you see the bottom item ?

[abdwbg1]

No its not displaying for this query 

[abdwbg1]

In the table below ("Today's post 7pm events"), the event name appears if I set the event start time to 6 p.m., but it does not appear if the time is 6:30 p.m. My location current time is 12:55PM
