Building an app from excel

(0) ShareShare

I don’t see all the columns that I have in the excel table in the app. It’s taking the columns in alphabetical order and some are missing.

Is there a set limit to the amount of columns you can build the app around?

    Be sure those columns are part of the TableName in the Excel table. Can you give a screen shot

    Hi @PeterBruss and @eka24 

    Just to add to what he said, calculated columns cannot be imported and trying to bring in one can have unpredictable results.

    Please is it Calculated field, Was the column added later.

    Either:

    If not a calculated column then Remove the connection in powerapps and recreate the column again

    Or

    Copy and rename the same table and Connect this new table if the column name will appear.
