Problems displaying data cards with full stops

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 44

Hi everyone,

I've run into an issue with Power Apps data cards and was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

In my app, I have some regular named fields, such as "Name", "Place", "Date". But then, to handle duplicated fields, I needed to prefix some with numbers to differentiate, so some appear as "1. Reason" and "2. Reason". However, when I try to display the latter fields in data cards, they don't show up. The Data Card name appears, just the value/entry is empty?!?

 

Does Power Apps have trouble handling fields with full stops in their titles. I've checked the datasource, and the data is there, but the data cards don't display it correctly.

 

For Info, my source is a SQL Server table and the data is fairly simple.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any insights or workarounds would be much appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi @g_m_j1 ,

    I am not an SQL user, but I can tell you that Power Apps does not like field names starting with numbers (second point of Field Naming Protocols (about half way down) in this blog of mine.

    Maybe try Reason1 / Name1 / Date1.
