Hello Shane, thank you for your valuable time for creating those tutorial videos. Whenever I bump into something I end up watching your videos and they are really helpful. Again I want to thank you for your help, making my time with PowerApps more fun and easy!!!

I was having some challenges so revisited this video. My realization was that OnTimerEnd is when the duration runs out, not when the timer stops, and I wanted some navigation OnTimerEnd to happen efficiently and not at arbitrary set time. So here is a hack: Instead of the timer's Start as a variable, set the duration to a variable, with initial value more than long enough for your purpose, say 20s. When your OnStart or other code runs (checking credentials or what have you) then set the duration variable to the timer.value + 500 (half a second), so your user doesn't have to wait the full 20s if checking credentials only took 5s, say, instead they will just wait an extra half second (and maybe less if you dare!). Thanks as always, Shane!

Shane, Thank You so much! between this and the collections video, I am creating everything I need for my team. You have made me a Rockstar at work and I can't thank you enough for this channel! I can't wait to watch more.

This is great man, I was wondering why that timer doesnt get started automatically on next page in a QUIZ app, and then your video helped. Hats off!

You literally have a video up of something I had to google for a couple hours for. You rock, dude!

Hi Shane, cool functionality that I will use in my app. I was looking for only one button to start and stop the timer, luckily I watched your video on variables a little while ago, so I remembered how to toggle them with "!". Maybe someone coming here for that finds this helpful ;)

Great video again! I use the timer control to display a splash screen for a few seconds before you get to the actual app.

Great stuff Shane. I've been using a lot of your videos lately to learn and explore PowerApps. In terms of sheer volume and style of content you're the best. I saw some 513 numbers referenced in one of your other videos and looked you up. Great to see a fellow Bearcat doing big things!

Lovely! We have some "nervous" users that hit the "Submit" button accidentally a few times and wonder why they get so many automated emails. Now I use the (hidden) timer to have a longer cool down for the "Submit" button once the user pressed it: when they press it and trigger the underlying Flow, the button gets disabled and the text changes for 5 seconds from "Submit" to "Processing ..." before it returns to its original stage.

Great teacher! I've learned a lot watching your videos

you make the best tutorials, thank you🙏

Thank you Shane for sharing the best ways to implement various types of logics in simple and clear ways. Just a small suggestion, if you could create video chapters focussing on the various topics you are covering in a video, it would save a lot of time and we can just jump to the required part. Thanks again! Please keep imparting this wisdom. Love your sessions! Cheers! 👍

Tip: you can set the Reset button easier just by using: OnSelect = Reset(Timer)

Hi Shane, thank you for your videos. They are a great help!

Excellent video!

Hi Shane I watch your videos all the time when I need help with something; THANKS for all you do. One thing in this video though that has had me stumped in the app I am creating for most of the day is the timer visibility. It was just not working at all when visibility is false. Then finally it hit me. One of the Experimental features "Enhanced performance for hidden controls" was turned on. The feature is great to have for hiding things and waiting for them to load before they do anything however it should really be a per control setting not app-wide. Once I turned that off, the timer worked fine when visibility is off, now to find out what I've broken by turning that feature off.

Thanks Shane you are amazing as usual

Thank u very much for ur great video.

at 8:32, I think your forgot to mention that you need to add the variable ResetPlease to the Counter Reset value ;) Had me scratching my head a little haha

Hi Shane, thank you for your great videos.

Hello Shane, great video and I can across this after watching your video on audio sounds!, so I'm looking for when I click the finish button it plays the sound then the page waits for 6 seconds before closing! can you help? Thanks

This is a great video. I have a gallery which i cycle through all the records using a next button is it possible to start a timer when the gallery record changes?

Hey Shane, loving the videos.... I have abit of an issue wondering if you could help... I have 5 timers on a screen, introducing text. I want the 5th one to start when an arrow button is selected. This will move to a new section on the same screen with new text (using updatecontext). For the 5th timer, I have turned auto start off, but cannot get the timer to start once I select the arrow... any ideas would be amazing!

Hi do you have a video that shows how to build a timesheet app. We need to know a start time, end time, date, name, day. We also need radio buttons for annual leave, sick leave etc. I haven't seen anything like that in your videos

Hi Shane, I like very much the way you present your videos. I tried the timer control thing and it worked good, but i had one problem, when i start the timer and then i navigate to another screen in the app, the timer stops. is there a way to keep the timer up and running when navigating from screen to another? and to stop it only by pressing on it? Thanks

Hello Shane, I found your channel and I am really happy with this fact :D I have question about Timer and export. I want to create an app where user click different icons and after that timmer will start. It is possible to export this kind of date for exaple to excell or msql ?

Heiiii Shane!! Once again a very helpful video!! I just started...so a bit late...One qs: I have been trying to select a button upon timer end..I am using OnTimerEnd and using variable..but the button never activates/gets selected...I used true/false like you showed, it's true upon timer end...but the function in the button never executes...Any suggestions? Thanks again !!

I have followed the steps for the reset button and added the onselect commands UpdateContext({ResetPlease: true});UpdateContext({ResetPlease:false}) BUT the reset doesn't reset ?

Hi Shane, thank you for the video tutorial, but can you please show video tutorial how to set the registeration time limit, i want to limit the data registeration so people can not registered above 4 afternoon.

Hi Shane, Any idea how I can create an equation that calculates out the number of minutes between two date/time stamps (which result from the Now() function)? I found the DateDiff function but it seems to require values. Can I go from time/date format to values somehow? I tried doing Value(the time and date data card value) but it spits out a gibberish number. Been searching for a solution for the past 8 hours, please help! Your videos are awesome, by the way, and have helped me immensely so far. Thanks!!

Thank you! you should called L&L Learn and Laugh! :)

hey Shane we can do that timer reset this way right? on select on reset button = " Reset(Timer1) & UpdateContext({GoTimer:false}) "

hello shane, I hope you are well, I have a problem with the timer when I run it in the application from the cell phone, if I exit the application as in any other it automatically pauses and starts from where it left off, how can I avoid that and keep the time going running even if you leave or the cell phone is blocked

so much fun! thanks shane!

@Shane Young: You are amazing as always ! I do have a question on the timer, when I change my tabs on the browser the timer stops and starts again when I come back to my app page. is there any solution for this !

Thanks again Shane - great video. Can you do one with Countdown from a specific Date/Time in the format: 10 Days 14 Hours 10 Minutes Remaining.

Hello Shane, I am making a workout app. I added in a timer for users to time themselves when they are resting. The timer is connected to input text allowing the user to select how many minutes/seconds they want to rest. However, I am unable to figure out how to add an alarm in the OnTimerEnd control. I want it to be a noise that goes off when the timer is done. Would you be able to help me or send me in the right direction?

Hi Shane, thanks again for your great tutorial videos, I just made a pop-up screen that shows up when a text input field is empty, and a timer that will reset that field every 15 minutes. Works great as an inactivity kind of log out screen 😊, is there a way for the timer to count down rather than count up

Hi Shane, your stuff is great! One question, in the case of an application for projects, to measure or execute the progress of each team with the project, is no application of power in the form of timer activation suspended? Example: Project X goes through ten teams (finance, IT, sales, etc.). The drop-down menu is a choice of time. From the moment I add a team, it starts counting and when I change to the next team, the team's time ends and the next one starts. Did we do it?

Hello Shane such a great video , i am curious to know how can i store this time duration(Difference of start and end time ) value in my share point list or SQL server table

Hey Shane, thanks for video, i like so much. I Have a question, if you can help me i apreciate. How can i use Timer Control with Collection together in the same APP in PowerApps? For exemple, i have a meeting with clients, and i have to save on the Gallery, All the informations, like Name of company client, phone number and how long time i spend on the meeting. Do you have another video explain this tutorial? Thanks. I

hey Shane, question... is it possible to have the timer running while the apps is working in the background so for example I can send notification on timer end?

Where did you connect your 'Resetplease' context variable to reset propety of timer control.you didnt include that in ur vdo.

Hi Shane. It is any way to syncronize timers of different screens? I have many screens and i want to have them all runing at the same time.

Shane you are fantastico :)

I'm going to try and use this control with an attachment control. I've noticed that if I want to do a check like CountRows(DataCardValue13.Attachments) right after I save an attachment, it doesn't count it right away. But.... Maybe... if I set a timer to like 10 seconds, and then do that count attachment check... it's just crazy enough that it just might work.

Hi Shane, great videos, can you have the timer start and continue to count in a gallery until another user triggers the timer to stop then save this to a sharepoint list? I am trying to create a call follow up log for reception so we can monitor how long it is taking staff to return calls. Cheers

Thanks for the great video! I cannot make the timer count once I leave the app. Auto-Pause is set to false (but that would only prevent the timer to pause if I change to a different screen within the app). What I want to do instead is to leave the app itself and move to a different Office App to do my work and use the PowerApp (in the background) just to record my working time. Do you have any idea which settings I have to adjust for that? Thanks !!

Shane, Do you have solution like this for tracking employee time, like clock in, clock out and total hours?

Great video! Have you had any experience with load management on this? i.e. If I have an average of 30 users on this app, and it is refreshing every minute, will this cause the app to break or slow down?

if i want to set a button that adds +1 to a variable in my gallery and i want to use another counter for my second shopping cart item how do i create this second variable to differentiate it from the first item in the gallery?

Hey Shane thanks for your valuable time for creating such videos...your method of teaching indeed forced me to subscribe you...Can you make some videos on date and time calculation? Like display time which are over 24hrs..eg 48:00....in excel we do it by custom formatting the value using square bracket.... Text(date,"[h]:mm")...I google this a lot but couldn't find an answer...hope you could help me on this...thanks in advance :)

I do a lot of simple things.❤️❤️

Wait, Shane! You're messing the syntax up! Oh, never mind you fixed it.

Hi Shane, Great video. Would there be a way to record individuals times when completing a task and then save to SharePoint? Eg preload an athletes name and press their name button when they cross the line to record result.

Hello Shane, Currently, I am creating a 'date' label to display Date and time by using Now() function. Now, time does not auto-update the time. Is there any way to display the Date and Time in a label and the time will auto-update ?

Good morning Shane! happy Friday As always you´re the best! Question... Do you know of a way to sum timer results? like if I was trying to log time spent performing a training and then wanted to get the overall time spent using the timer? I was able to do it in excel lol but can´t find how on Powerapps Found a couple but don´t work: Sum(Collection/Data, column) Text(Sum(Collection/Data, Column), ,"[$-en-US]hh:mm:ss")

Hello Shane, Can you save timer "Value"( time gone ) in sharepoint list for submit(form 1) ?

Hi Shane, Can the timer stop after certain time automatically ?

Thanks mate, can I move latest timing results to top as every time I punch in the time goes at the bottom.Also, can I link this record sheet to sharepoint instead of timingresults,

Does reset please variable goes to reset property of the timer?

Hi Shane, great video on timer controls. I was wondering is there any control to adjust the time such as Minutes and Seconds in Power Apps?

Hi Shane, I'm experiencing a issue when collecting the timing results as they seem to disappear when I reload my application (yes I have saved it) any ideas?

Like always, so smart

Shane how could you save the timer value to a SharePoint list and then resume it later? I'm having the hardest time figuring this out, and global variables don't seem to be the answer. If you could spare the time I would greatly appreciate an answer to this question :D

Hmm... I didn't get the reset button to work. Here is the code, please correct me if I missed any step UpdateContext({ResetPlease:true});UpdateContext({ResetPlease:false})

How does the reset work when you didn't use the variable inside the timer itself?

Great stuff thx.

Amazing

Muchas gracias

Can we add timer in gallery for each item?

My reset button is not working and I don't understand what i messed up. any insights?

I want to know how do we capture the system idle and work accordingly..

Hello Shane, I have problem with your command UpdateContext({ResetPlease: true}); UpdeteContext({ResetPlease:false}) It is not working. I wrotre " ; " after first command and after that PA shows me error. Maybe do you know the solution of my problem?

how to set Timer Control will make your text input letters change from lowercase to uppercase letter after 5 seconds of entering the text in powerapps plz help me with this

Hello Shane, thank you very much for your video. But i need your help please, i have problem with one function. I can't collect datas and reset the timer with one button. I'm obliged to do 2 differents buttons and then it works. This is how i did at the begining (with one button) : Collect(ShiftReports; {time : TimerShift.Text; Line: Dropdown1.SelectedText.Value; Shift:Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value}) And UpdateContext({resettimer:true}) And UpdateContext({resettimer:false}) The error that appears is " Invalid argument type, one of the following values is expected: text, number, boolean, OptionSetValue, ViewValue"

What are those TimingResults? My Gallery can't find it. wtf?! It happened automatically on your video, so we can't now know it, how to handle this. Btw. Reset doesn't work with this formula.

Hi Shane Can you tell me how to convert Timer control output to seconds?

buenas tardes quisiera saber cómo hago para poner la fecha y hora actual en powerapps

Where is the exact moment that a newly created variable "ResetPlease" is connected to Timer control? How does power-app knows that you are thinking of resetting the Timer???

timer set autostart, how to pause?

This could also work UpdateContext({TimerGo:false}); Reset(Timer1)

what happens if you lock you phone screen?

haiva haiva bob

and again I found this code works for Record and Reset button too.. is there any error please someone corrects me = "Collect(TimingResults, {Time:Timer1.Text}) ;Reset(Timer1) & UpdateContext({GoTimer:false})"
