Having Troubles to Link a HTTPS Link into a Form

Hello,

the Data Source of my Power Apps is an Excel Sheet where I have information about Rooms (Name, Location, Category, Equipment, ... and the Confluence Link).

As there is no possibility to Connect directly to Confluence through PowerApps I have limited technical possibility to connect my Power Apps App with the Confluence Page.

I have a Screen where all the Rooms are shown and a Show Button where it navigates to the Detail Screen where some information is visible on the screen.

One data card is the Confluence Link. I want to implement the opportunity that when I click on the Link a new tab opens in the browser and the link opens. (For that I don't need an API or something like that, I just want to get to this HTTPS Link when I am clicking on the Link).

The value of the Confluence Link in the Form is shown as "ThisItem.Confluence" and the Value itself is in Excel a own row.

The Format of the Link is https://confluence.companyxyz.com/x/xyz

I tried to create a button and in the OnSelect Statement Launch("and in here the direct Link") -> when I click on the button nothing happens. When I do Launch(ThisItem.Confluence) still nothing happens.

Thanks!

Hi CU11111322-0

Apart from Excel being a "data source of last resort" unless you do not have access to SharePoint/Dataverse, this code should technically work
Launch(ThisItem.Confluence)

assuming the button launching it is inside a gallery or a form and the URL is valid if used directly in a browser. If you put a label in the form/gallery with
ThisItem.Confluence

do you see the URL ?

Hello WarrenBelz,

the code which is underneath works fine.
Launch(ThisItem.Confluence)

Anywhere I put a label or a button and put in the Text Value "ThisItem.Confluence" I can see the URL. It is also shown as https://confluence.companyxyz.com/x/xyz but when I put it in a OnSelect Value with the Launch Code the Website does not open in a new tab.

Thanks!
