DataTable Lookups

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 70

Good Morning, 

Within my PowerApp I have a menu screen with around 40 Links to other screens within the App. The request has been made to be able to alphabetise this list and within Powerapps, I've found that it's all manual. To resolve this I've created a DataTable which I can alphabetise and then all I need is for the X & Y fields to look up the relevant cells in the table to allocate themselves in the correct place.

This is the formula I have come up with so far, but it's clearly not working. I was hoping if somebody here could assist me. 

Thanks

    Hi @Axeum ,

    You cannot refer to any Power Apps element (lists, controls, fields etc) dynamically, so yes, it is a manual "hard-coded" exercise.
