calendar-component - about powerapps-samples HOT 6 CLOSED

@hugoabernier No sorry, I thought @aprildunnam was going to offer some tips on how to pull in the multiple Outlook calendars, combine them, and display them, I guess I wasn't clear enough!

Hey @lsheltonSTO - This post on the power users community shows how to leverage the Outlook connector to do this: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Display-Outlook-Calendar-Events-in-PowerApps/td-p/135699

As far as merging multiple calendars one thing you could do is output the items from the various calendars into one collection to display in the component. You can use the ClearCollect() function to initiate a new collection and the COllect() function to add items to it for example: Collect(myEventsCollection, Office365.CalendarGetItems(YourCalendarName).value))

Yeah you could totally do that. It will just depend on how you want to surface that up. Are you just wanting all of the data combined from the various calendars and displayed? Or are you wanting a way to toggle the calendar display between the different calendars? If the it's the latter then that can be done but will require a small tweak to the component to add a dropdown or something which will change the display

We'd ideally like a weekly view (I think I already know how to do that, I played with making a calendar with some of Shane Young's recent videos) that shows multiple team member's calendars on the same view so that members of another team know if they are free or busy basically to know who they can reach out to.

@lsheltonSTO did @aprildunnam 's response help answer your question?

I'll go ahead and mark this issue as answered, but feel free to re-open the issue if you need more information.

Thank you @aprildunnam

@aprildunnam I did just learn about collections the other day doing a Cloud Challenge, so I will give that a try! Thank you so much!
