Creating a Form in PowerApp that read from Excel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hii,

 

I am trying to build a Power App. Firstly, I connected my Excel Table in OneDrive. I am trying to create a form which a user enters its information. Then, the submit button will create a trigger in PowerAutomate, and gives a response end of the flow. In the flow, the given information will be checked over the Excel file and give the proper response. Then, the response will be displayed in the app.

 

I have some questions for this process.

 

1- Do I need to connect my table to the PowerApp at first? Is that would be enough to connect the Excel Table in Power Automate Flow?

2- When I created a form from blank canvas app, I cannot see my form in preview mode. What can be the problem? How can I create a proper form?

    In answer to your questions....

     

    1- Do I need to connect my table to the PowerApp at first? Is that would be enough to connect the Excel Table in Power Automate Flow?

     

    >> Power Apps and Power Automate operate independently. You don't need to connect your Excel table to Power Apps first.

     

    2- When I created a form from blank canvas app, I cannot see my form in preview mode. What can be the problem? How can I create a proper form?

     

    >> Most likely, the DefaultMode property of the form is set to Edit. If you change it to New, the form should be visible and be able to accept the entry of a new record.
