Retrieve Office365User Email Addresses

I have Screen1, on which is TextInput_1 and Gallery_1.

TextInput_1 is being auto-populated with names from a
SharePoint List based on choices made elsewhere.

I would like the Gallery_1 Label to auto-populate the email
addresses (from Office365Users) associated with the names
in TextInput_1.

I have tried the following in the Gallery_1 Label, but I'm getting
an error.

What am I missing?

LookUp(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:(TextInput3_1.Text)})

Hey @Phineas,

Your LookUp is still open and has no arguments.

You xould also need to add a ".value" after the Office365Users function so that you get the table with the top 5 records.
To display it you should put it in a Gallery or look add a .Mail to it

this would be what you are trying to get:

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:(TextInput3_1.Text)}).value // Returns top 5 results //get first result and display only the mail First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:(TextInput3_1.Text)}).value).Mail

You can find more information here: Connect to Office 365 Users connection from Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

There will be at least two names in the TextInput field.

Does this change the formula?

I got the following to work.

If I use User().FullName or hardcode my name into TextInput3_1.Text, the Gallery displays my email address.

However, if I try to use the following there are no results.

There are times when there may be one name returned, or two or more names returned to TextInput3_1.Text.

How do I update the formula so that the email addresses associated with the names in TextInput3_1.Text appear in the Gallery?

TextInput3_1.Text = (the property dropdown is on another screen)

LookUp(WRApprovalsCollection,HOA = Property_Dropdown.Selected.HOA,Title &", "& User().FullName )

Gallery Items = Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:(TextInput3_1.Text)})

Gallery Email Address Label = ThisItem.Mail

When I type Curtis I get my email address returned to the Gallery.

However, if I type in John Smith (comma or semi-colin) Curtis (and my last name), no email appears in the Gallery.

I am trying to create a formula that returns all emails for all names entered into the TextInput.

To do that you would have to change the formula quite a bit.

You would need to do somehting like this:

//OnChange or on a button select after entering the names Set(varNames,Split(TextInput3_1.Text, "; ")) //the initial formula shold be changed like this ForAll(varNames, First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:(ThisRecord.Value)}).value).Mail)

Let me know how this worked.
