PowerApps Input Field (Lookup Using a Sharepoint List)

Hello everyone,  if these questions has been asked before, please let me know where to go to find the answer. I have searched the forum several times and couldn't find anything..

 

I have a Inventory sharepoint list with 650 products.  When a user place an order by typing  the product name, for example, if they type "MacBook Air" - how can the PowerApp auto complete as they type the product name by looking up from the SharePoint list? 

 

What I mean is - as the user type "Macb…" the words MacBook Air will appear so user can select it automatically versus scrolling 650 products to find MacBook Air....  Can we accomplish that through PowerApps?

 

Thank you so much in advance

    Yessss Just like that... 

     

    @v-bofeng-msft   So I should use a combo box and link that to the lookup column????

    Hi @musht99 :

    Do you want the app jumping out of possible results for users to choose when entering search objects?

    I suggest you use a combo box control instead of a TextInput control(I am afraid that the TextInput control does not have this function).I'v made a test for your reference:

    1\Add a comob box control

    Items

     

    'List A'.Title /*list A is my data source,Title is column name*/

     

    IsSearchable

     

    true
