Sharepoint Document Libary - Back Button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jroberts1989

Hi All,

I am a newbie to Power Apps the below walkthroughs to build a SharePoint document library.

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Community-App-Samples/Power-Apps-SharePoint-Document-Library-Browser/td-p/946466


The issue I have encountered is with the back button functionality.

 

It advises to create a gallery with the below formula:

"Split(Left(varFolderPathCurrent, Len(varFolderPathCurrent)-1), "/")"
This appears to work fine, and I can see the desired folders.

The next instruction is to insert a button with the formula "ThisItem.Result" as the text.
The issue I am having is that "ThisItem.Result" doesnt appear to be an option.

Any help would be a hugely appreciated
