Thanks, Damien_Rosario 

 

Can you clarify the PowerApps solution?  I haven't explored PowerApps because I thought it was only for developing mobile apps.  Hopefully I am incorrect!

Hi DeclanHalpin 

 

I personally use PowerApps to build apps that we use on SharePoint and whatnot as Desktop type apps. You can adjust the dimensions of the canvas to suit your needs.

 

PowerApps is a bit involved but here's an example of the Date Picker in PowerApps where I have set it to 2 days ahead (see the attributes to the right). With some further conditions it could probably also disallow anything before two days from today but hopefully it gives you an idea.

 

You would need to link this app to something like a SharePoint list to get it going so if your requirements are really simple and nothing else is needed, it may be worthwhile to go down the Flow option I mentioned earlier else this is the first day of your new journey into PowerApps.

 

There's lots of videos and websites around that can help with getting you started as well as a more expert community who can assist at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Community/ct-p/PowerApps1

 

 

See how you go?

 

Cheers

Damien
