PowerApps Item ID in a gallery.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FranzCarson3 71

Hey,

I need help with and Item ID.  I have a gallery in my app that shows reimbursement requests.  Each item in the gallery has its own ID.  The formula I am using right now is: Text(CountRows('Reimbursement Request Gallery')+1)

 

Reimbursement Request Gallery is the name of my gallery.  The problem with this is that if I have more than one Item in a gallery, lets say two, if I delete item #1, then the next item I add will have an Item ID of two.  Because I had two items in the gallery to begin with, there is already an item with the ID of 2.  I need to know how to not make this happen.

 

I would appreciate any help you could give me.  Thanks.

    Thank you for your suggestion.  I decided that I would just use a GUID(Global Unique Identifier).  I appreciate it.

    Hi @FranzCarson3 ,

    As long as the GUID is sequentially numeric it will work. You did not mention your data source type, so I assumed SharePoint.
