Power Apps Select an Excel file then Edit it

Posted on by 69

I've seen apps that allow users to navigate to and display folders and files. And I've seen apps that will let users edit lists and excel files. I need to combine the two: I want my users to be able to navigate to a folder where we will save multiple excel files that will all be formatted identically, choose the one they are looking for, then edit it using a simple edit form. I've done some experimentation with parent/child galleries. Is there a way that the parent gallery can be the folder navigation and the child then be the selected file? 

Thank you!

    @CTASS To start with you can't load a Excel file on the fly and work with it. The has to be loaded during App development. Also the Excel file has to have a Table and this table has to be selected at development time as well.
