Yeah, this comes up quite often when you’re trying to show a lot of columns from a SharePoint list inside a gallery in Power Apps.
What’s happening is that galleries don’t support horizontal scrolling out of the box. They only scroll vertically. So if you keep adding more columns, they just get squeezed or go out of view.
To achieve horizontal scrolling, you need to use a container as a “scroll wrapper”.
Here’s the approach:
- Insert a Horizontal container (or regular container)
- Place your gallery inside that container
- Set the container to handle horizontal overflow
Set the container properties like this:
- Now increase the width of the gallery template beyond the screen width
Example:
- Inside the gallery, arrange your labels (columns) horizontally
Now when the total width exceeds the screen, the container will show a horizontal scrollbar.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
- Make sure the container width is smaller than the gallery width
- Keep consistent spacing so columns align properly
- If you want a header row, create a separate container above with the same width
So basically, you’re not making the gallery scroll horizontally directly — you’re letting a container handle the scrolling while the gallery stretches beyond the screen.
