(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I have Sharepoint list with table - email of employee and amount of days for vacation.

How can I show in power apps some particular cell? 

For exapmle in sharepoint

Employee               Days

John                       5

David                     3

Max                       4

 

David logined into application - powerapps has to find in sharepoint David and show 3

 

I have connected SharePoint and Office 365 as data source to PowerAutomate

I tried First('name of sharepoint list').'name of column', but it shows first value in list, somehow I need to add 'current user' or something like that

 

thank you in advance

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    To do this, you can use the LookUp function to select a certain row and then the "." operator to select a column.

     

    Examples for how to use the LookUp function can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-filter-lookup#examples

     

    To retrieve the details of the current user, you can use the User function: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-user

     

    Putting these together will make something like the below:

    LookUp(
     SharePointListName,
     EmployeeEmail = User().Email
    ).Days
