Hello,
I have powerapp connected to SQL Server table(on-premises).
I am storing datetime value(UTC-Powerapp) to datetime Sql Server.
Facing so many issues here,
When I create record from India(IST Timezone)
I select 8 AM in powerapp field.
It stores 2 AM in database.
When fetching back on display form it returns: 7:30AM.
When Jerry does same from USA Chicago:
Jerry select 8 AM in powerapp field.
It stores 2 AM in database.
When fetching back on display form it returns: 8PM.
I cant even change column to datetimeoffset as its existing database table.
I am really confused, any kind of help would be appriciated.
Thanks
🙂
Hi
@SudhirSingare
,
Do you want the Time value from your SQL table to be displayed with same value within your app?
Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think you have faced a Time Zone offset issue within your app.
When working Date Times within PowerApps, the Date Times value would be converted into UTC format.
In other words, when you retrieve 2 AM time value (from your SQL Table) within your app, the 2 AM time value would be recognized as a UTC format, when you display it within your app, it would be converted into your local Time Zone.
If the users of your app is in different time zone, and you want the Date Time value from your SQL table to be displayed with same value, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.
Currently, as an alternative solution, you should create a datetimeoffset column in your SQL table to store the Date time value from your app. Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:
https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/working-with-datetime-values-in-sql/
In addition, you could consider take a try to display the UTC time value within your app instead of user's local time value, then the end users would display same UTC time value within their own app.
If you want to convert a Time value into UTC format, I think the
DateAdd
function and
TimeZoneOffset
function could achieve your needs:
DateAdd(YourTimeValue, TimeZoneOffset(), Minutes)
Please check the following article for more details:
