Hi, I'm trying to get a url in a spreadsheet to be linkable in the power app. I've read all the excel/link messages already in the forum and I've tried all of the suggestions and nothing is working.  I must be doing something wrong, please help!  I've included screenshots of the most current

    Assuming that the formula you show is on the OnSelect of the label that you are displaying the URL in, then it should be working.

    To simplify it (if you plan to just display a link) you can change the formula in the OnSelect to:  Launch(Self.Text)

    Thanks Randy, yes the OnSelect does show that see attached.  Is there any other reason why it wouldn't be working?   I've also tried manually inserting the url with the launch command for the on select field and it still doesn't work. 

     

    See ...439 screen shot, could this be part of the issue for this particular command?

    What is the DisplayMode property set to?  Should be Edit.

    Yes, it is set to Edit, but that is for the Gallery not the form where the link is, or does the form inherit that property?

    Is there anything else on "top" of it?  In other words is it at the top of the layers?

    Yes I tried that too, thinking something was blocking the label from being clicked on but no, I did move it to "front" and it didn't make any difference.  Does the link when active change appearance similar to what links do in other programs, eg change color, underline, etc?

    Nevermind, I was setting it Edit in Display mode in the wrong place!  I changed it from view to edit on the 'card' and now it works, thank you!!!!
