Hi Mates, How to load images in to gallery, i can load text and numbers but can not load images, thow images are avalible in datasource(in excel)

DataSource Columns : Title|FirstName|LastName|Image etc fields in excel.

i can load all, except image field, mean photo is not displaying in gallery image property even i tried setting with field name like (Thisitem.image).

if i click on Add an images file its displaying same image to all the rows, this is not correct.

Can you help me how to deal images in powerapps.

Users will upload in to datasource(SQL orMySQL)in future so we have to refer that images in to galley.

Once the images are in a Table, each row will pick a row or item in the Gallery which will work fine.

Since these ones are not in a table ,you can create a collection OnStart of the App:
ClearCollect( ImageTable, { ImageColumn: "ImageName1", OtherColumn:Co1}, { ImageColumn: "ImageName2", OtherColumn:Co2} )

Then do a lookup on the image in the Gallery:
LookUp(ImageTable, OtherColumn=ThisItem.ColummID,ImageColumn)

Where ColummID represent the column name in the Table on the Items of the Gallery.

Hi @eka24
Correct me if i am wrong....

Create Table just for store images only.
Create Table2 and a column(imageurl) to refer images url from Table.
once updated Table2 imageurl column then can refer in to powerapps gallery.
for image control Thisitem.imageurl
is this fine ..?
or is there any thing (major activity) i missed here ..?

You can create a Table solely for Images (You can go for Azure Blob storage if you want), then refer Lookup another table based on common unique field.
Or
A table that has records including the Image Column.
I will go for the Second option "A table that has records including the Image Column" if am not using Blob Storage.

Both of them will works. Your example you gave of Thisitem.imageurl is correct.
