Hi,
Not sure this is new but after viewing many related posts, I haven't seen similar behavior. I am trying to load images stored in OneDrive with their relative paths saved in an Excel file to be used in PowerApps. I have a root folder '\App', where I have the 'files.xlsx' and 'files_images' folder. Here are the screenshots showing the contents:
However, when I load the data source, the image column is not properly recongized:
1. Create a blank PowerApp Canvas.
2. Click Data icon on the right and select 'Add data'. Select 'Excel Online (Business)' under 'Connectors'.
3. On the right popup drawer, select the 'OneDrive for Business' > 'OneDrive' > 'App' > 'files.xlsx'. Select 'ImageList'. Click 'Connect'. Click 'Use unique column from Excel table'. Select 'ID'. Click 'Connect'.
4. Add a 'Vertical gallery' from 'Insert' panel. Set the 'Items' property to 'ImageList'.
5. Click the 'Image1' under the Gallery1 in the tree. Change the 'Image' property.
Now, you can see that the image column is not recognized as images, i.e. there is no ThisItem.Path option but instead ThisItem.'Path [image]' option.
I am not sure if there needs to be certain naming convention for the folder/files that I might have missed.
Thanks.
