Problems in selecting Data Source

(0) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi all,

I'm new to Power Apps and trying at the moment to build an easy app for testing.

I connected my One Drive to Power App where I saved an excel file with a table. Now I wanted to create a gallery showing me the data of the table, but I'm having problem to select this table as it shows nothing when I'm trying to select a data source (screenshot attached). When I start directly from data, it shows me my table but when I start from blank there's nothing to select.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Have you tried to manually type in your data source? Also, do you see the datasource in the Items property on the right side navigation pane?

Let me know if this helps.

I just tried to add a table from an excel sheet which is in OneDrive and I was able to add it as a data source (see attached). Can you try to add this data source back by creating a new connection to OneDrive?

Created a new connection but still is not working...
When I start from the Data/Excel Table it shows me the table but then I still can choose this Table as a data source as soon as I want to add something. Screenshot attached,

Hi,

Please save your table in the excel sheet as a source table with a name.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I believe this is some kind of bug for browser.
Could you try to update your browse to the latest version, or change another browser? e.g. Firefox, Edge, Chrome.
If all browsers show nothing in data source pane, please let me know.
