Can I build a Bingo Card Generator with PowerApps?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hey,

 

I´m an absolute beginner regarding PowerApps and any IT related skills. I did my first steps an am now wondering if it´s possible to build a bingo card generator with PowerApps?
I want the programm generate about 150 unique Bingocards for me based on an Excel list with 50 music songs. 

So best scenario would be that if I hit a Button called "generate" for example PowerApps generates 150 unique Bingo Cards as pdf ( 4 on each site)

Do you think it´s possible? How can I start?

    I think it can be done to Your description but it will be a lot to learn 🙂

    Here is a good starting point what should help You in this journey

    I think it's doable, but it might not be the best project to start on, since the PDF function is experimental and may be hard to use for a beginner.  The documentation is at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/how-to/pdf-function

     

    From I've read so far, it looks like you can print whatever is visible on your screen to a .pdf file.  

    Following SebS's suggestion, use the random number generator to produce a collection with 150 variations.  Set up a gallery control for each card, and within that gallery card control, a second gallery for each cell on the card.  Once you set up the nested gallery, you could use the .PDF control to print each page, one at a time.

    An alternative might be to use the regular print command and print to a virtual PDF printer.  This would allow you to define a larger print area and possibly print in fewer steps.

    Unfortunately, you'll find that PowerApps print support is one of its least robust features.

     

    If you want to use PowerApps as a game development engine, Mr. Deng worked on this a number of years ago and you might find his YouTube videos enlightening. Although many of the features may be different, the approach should be instructional.
