New records not appearing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

I am very new to PowerApps and programming. I have built a canvas app from a list of records in excel. I realised after I had built the app that there were limitations to using excel so transferred the record to a SharePoint list and deleted the excel file. I switched over the data source to the SharePoint list and the app is working well. I have increased the amount of records to look up to 2000 which easily covers the amount of records in my database (1500).

 

The difficulty I am now facing is that when I create a new record within the app, it adds it to the SharePoint list. However, the record does not appear within the gallery view/search in other parts of the app.

 

I have used the refresh function on the data source and used refresh as part of the formulas within the app and still the records do not appear.

 

Looking at the SharePoint list the only difference between the new records and the old records I imported from excel is that there is a _powerappsid_ column with a code which the new records do not have. Is this the cause of the problem? Any ideas?

    From your description I get that then New record you saved is not appearing in the SharePoint list and therefore also not appearing in the App?

     

    If that is the case please what formula are you using to save you record in Power App?

    Also have you checked your right or permission to save to SharePoint?

    The record does appear on the SharePoint list but does not appear within the gallery in another part of the app when I want the user to search the records to pull up someone’s details. 

    I use the following formula when saving the record....

    OnSelect = SubmitForm(Form1);Navigate(HomeScreen,fade);Refresh(‘Clientlist’)

    If it appears in the SharePoint then rather show the formula on the items of that Gallery.

    When I click on the gallery the formula is...

     

    items=Search(‘Clientlist’,TextInput3.Text, “Surname”, “FirstName”)

     

    There is a TextInput above the gallery as a search box.

    Use this:

    Filter( ClientList, StartsWith( FirstName, TextInput3.Text ) || StartsWith(Surname, TextInput3.Text ) )

     

    If you still have issues, give the Data type of those columns.
