Hi PowerApps veterans,
I am hoping to create a table in PowerApps like the diagram below, I am wondering if you could point me to the right direction how I could get started. I would like to dive in PowerApps and learn how to create something useful like this and hope that this thread will be the definitive post and benefit anyone in the future, who faces similar requirements.
Thank you.
Hi @Australia ,
A fairly broad question, but yes that is certainly possible in Power Apps. You would use a Gallery with editable functions included. How you approached it would depend if you wanted to save one line at a time (simpler) or the lot at the end (more complex).

Hi @WarrenBelz,
Many thanks for the prompt reply. I am glad to hear that it is possible to do it in Power Apps.
I have updated my diagram so that it is easier to understand what I'd like to achieve. I would hope to save the lot at the end by clicking the 'Save' button illustrated in the diagram.
Thanks again.
'As I mentioned, this makes the process more complex - you would need to have a collection as the Items of the gallery and Patch each one line as you complete it, then use a ForAll() patch from the collection to the list.
Happy to look at your code it you get stuck on this.
PS I am in your time zone - from CQ.
Thank you @WarrenBelz
To get started, could you correct me if my steps are wrong:
1. Use the Data SharePoint list as the 'parent' list and the cascading SharePoint List as the 'child' list
2. Create a PowerApp under the child list (Power Apps > Create an App)
3. Find supporting materials on how to create repeatable table and cascading list. Combine the two together.
Should the 'Number of Parks' be created as a column in the Parent/Child list? Or both?
You need a collection for the "Child list" in the gallery. What is your Power Apps experience (as this is not a straight-forward exercise).
@WarrenBelz, would the childlist be the Data list or the cascading list?
I am a newbie in the PowerApps world with very basic knowledge about Gallery/coding. Hence I've been searching for step-by-step materials on the web... (facepalm)
@Australia ,
Please take the time to watch this video from Dave's Tech Tips @DavesTechTips - there are some fundamental things that you will need to understand before you attempt what you require. They include
are a few I can think of straight away.
@WarrenBelz Thank you very much Warren! Looks like I've already watched Dave's video so I guess that's a good start. Once I have learnt about Patch/Collect/Forall and other commands, what would be the next item(s) I should tackle?
Those four are essential to build the type of model you need and you require an understanding of how they work.
As I mentioned, I am happy to look at the code you have tried once you have your structure in place.
I am able to use repeating table for text fields and simple dropdown fields. But I facing issue with Cascading dropdown in repeating table. Can anyone share the formula's or guide how to do this?
