EditForm not Displaying

Hello,

 

I have created an app from blank. I added an excel file as a data source of an Edit Form. See below:

Everything seems fine but when I start to play the app, it gives me blank except for the button:

If anybody knows the reason, please kindly advise.

    Hi sharonwilliams7,


    You can attempt to switch the default mode on the right-hand side to "New." If it currently displays "Edit," it means that Power Apps is searching for data to edit, and the form might be new with no existing data - so it shows as a blank screen with no fields. This method worked for me, and I hope it proves helpful for you as well.

    I am confused and do not understand the answer.   I keep getting no item selected.

    Where Should I use the function? I am having the same problem but for me, it is not clear where I can put the form on "new" mode.

    On the form properties, use the ITEM field.

    This is what you need in the Item field to get the Display and edit form working for sharepoint integrated forms.

     

    If(IsBlank(SharePointIntegration.Selected) || IsEmpty(SharePointIntegration.Selected),Defaults(YOURFORMNAMEHERE),SharePointIntegration.Selected)

     

    Super helpful that they don't default that value or tell you it's missing. Wasted 2 hours.

    This normally happens because your datasource is empty if the form is in edit mode, Change the form to new mode it should show the form.

    Hello, I just tried to run the app, it works fine. So I think it is a bug in preview status.

     

    Thank you for your help!
