Filter gallery of Sharepoint list by date

[TMR]

I am having problems filtering a gallery based on a date column in a Sharepoint list.

Sharepoint List = OnboardTasks

Date Column = Due_Date

Calculated Column = DDNumber

Formula =VALUE(YEAR(Due_Date)&RIGHT("00"&MONTH(Due_Date),2)&RIGHT("00"&DAY(Due_Date),2))

The following filter works fine but does not filter dates:

Current filter = Filter(OnboardTasks, Completed=false, Dropdown2.Selected.Value = Assigned_x0020_To)

Things I have tried that give blue warning: “Part of this formula cannot be evaluated remotely…”

Filter(OnboardTasks, Due_x0020_Date>08/01/2017, Completed=false, Dropdown2.Selected.Value = Assigned_x0020_To)

Filter(OnboardTasks, Due_x0020_Date>Date(2017,8,15), Completed=false, Dropdown2.Selected.Value = Assigned_x0020_To)

I have tried MANY ways with no success. I have tried to use the calculated column as well.

When the calculated column is placed on a label, it displays with 7 zeros after decimal.

Hi TMR,

Please try to add a Date picker control on your app. Then filter using the value of the Date picker control.

I am using the value of Date picker control to filter a gallery and it is working fine.

The function I am using is:
Filter(ProjectEmail,Date>DatePicker2.SelectedDate,Status.Value="Pending")

Please try it on your side and let me know if it will work for you.

Best regards,
Mabel Mao

Thanks for your reply v-yamao-msft,

I added a DatePicker and tried it without success 

Below was my first test:

Filter(OnboardTasks, Due_x0020_Date=DatePicker1.SelectedDate, Completed=false, Dropdown2.Selected.Value = Assigned_x0020_To)

The requested operation is invalid.

The second test I tried filtering by JUST the DatePicker:

Filter(OnboardTasks, Due_x0020_Date=DatePicker1.SelectedDate)

The requested operation is invalid.

After spending more than a day...I could able to filter sharepoint list date column with powerapp datepicker.

Instead of passing DatePicker2.SelectedDate directly to sharepoint date column. We need to pass Year,Month & Day seperately as shown below.

ActivityStartDate<=Date(Year(DatePicker2.SelectedDate),Month(DatePicker2.SelectedDate),Day(DatePicker2.SelectedDate))

Hope this helps someone.

Happy Coding!!

I have an easier solution:

Just filter the gallery with a TextSearchBox

All you need is your gallery and a TextField, which you would rename as "TextSearchBox1".

Sort(If(IsBlank(TextSearchBox1), YourSharePointList, Filter(YourSharePointList, TextSearchBox1.Text in Text(Created, DateTimeFormat.ShortDate, "en-US"))), Created, Descending)

Only the formatting with the Text-function makes the SharepointList searchable by "created".

Now you can filter the gallery by just tiping in the date. Remember that the dateformat must be concording to the languge settings (in this case US-English). 

In the TextSearchBox you would tipe in MM/DD/YYYY e.g. 03/24/2018 and get the items from this date.

Works well in my lists.

Hey there, I was (and still am) trying to Filter a Gallery by a DatePicker, I used your formula and worked, but May I ask a question, may I filter Date = DatePicker? 

I tried but the i could not because my Date format I had to do this : Text ( DateAdd(ThisItem.Data; TimeZoneOffset(ThisItem.Data);Minutes) ; "[$-pt-BR]dd/mm/yyyy" ; "pt-BR" )

Hi - I tried this one and I still get that 'delegation warning. 

Filter(SharePointList, SPDateTimeColumn >= DatePicker1.SelectedDate), PowerApps gives a blue warning on SPDateTimeColumn. Is it because it's a date time column?

Hi @iamlee 

I think the best solution for this would be an integer column in SQL that converts the date to a number.  Queries to date columns in SP are not delegatable (nor is calculated columns in SP), so if you have to use SharePoint for the data, the other option would be to use Flow to fetch the data and return it to PowerApps. Flow can use ODATA queries to get to the correct data and then possibly manipulate or join the data with other services before returning it to PowerApps. I love this approach and it has come in extremely handy in the past. Some might say that using a flow for retrieving data might feel 'expensive' but it does allow for many different functional and security options going forward.

See below demo what can be achieved with this. Please see below and let us know if you have any questions or suggestions:

This solution works , but only on small Datasets. It gives a delegation warning. Any idea how to do this with delegation?
