Hi,
I am new to Power Apps and i followed some MSFT fundamental instructions to build my first Power App.
The Flooring Estimates App worked well
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/get-started-create-from-data
As a next step I wanted to build a simple "Facebook" app based on an Excel defined Table with names, and .jpg images stored in my One Drive for Business folder
I followed the instruction as per below under section : "Add images from the cloud to your app"
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/add-images-pictures-audio-video
I followed the instructions and created an Excel table and created a Power App
* created a canvas App
* connection made with OneDrive for Business , Selected excel file and table "Jackets"
* added Gallery Horizontal
* Gallery control - data items: Jackets
* Image property : ThisItem.Images
* Title 1 and Subtitle 2 are filled with the data from the Excel file so this seems to work.
Problem: Image1 is not visible in the app and also not the other 4 Images.
Also when I tried to create an automated "start from data" Excel online iPhone application the same issue appears: no visible images
1. Excel Table is defined and named "Jackets"
2. I named the column containing the path definition of the pictures : Images [images]
3. The path used in that column is: .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_5_Lilac.jpeg
The instruction says:
3. In an Excel spreadsheet, create a one-column table, and fill it with the following data.
To copy the file path from OneDrive for Business, select a file, and then select Path (Copy direct link) from the details pane on the right side of the screen.
So what Path should I take ?
1. if in Explorer Right Click Mouse on filename and select properties / Security Object name:
"C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Companyname\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_5_Lilac.jpeg"
So i used:
| Images [image] |
| C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Companyname\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_10_LightBrown.jpeg |
| C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Companyname\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_5_Lilac.jpeg |
| C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Companyname\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_7_DARKBLUE.jpeg |
| C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Companyname\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_7_DarkGreen.jpeg |
| C:\Users\myname\OneDrive - Companyname\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_8_PaleMariGold.jpeg |
Unfortunately it did not work.
Then i changed path in : .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_5_Lilac.jpeg
| Images [image] |
| .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_10_LightBrown.jpeg |
| .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_5_Lilac.jpeg |
| .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_7_DARKBLUE.jpeg |
| .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_7_DarkGreen.jpeg |
| .\PowerApps\Assets_images\Jacket_8_PaleMariGold.jpeg |
UNFORTUNATELY - it did not work
So what is the proper setting or Path ? and do I need to do something with file sharing permissions ?
Looking forward to your solution !
Many Thanks.
