PowerApps Item ID in a gallery.

Posted on by FranzCarson3

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.

Hi @FranzCarson3

Try

Text( First( Sort( 'Reimbursement Request Gallery' ID, Descending ) )+1 )

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.
