Export Multiple Collection

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I am trying to export multiple collections at once with the export control. In the "Data" field, I have: Collection_1 ; Collection_2

However, PowerApps is telling me that it expected an operator (eg. +,*,&&). No matter what I change the semicolon to, I still end up with some kind of error about the coding of the collections. All I want to do is export these two collections at once to use later. I have figured out how to export a single collection, however, the export control does not seem to work for me when I have multiple collections in the "Data" field.

Hi @Anonymous
It would seem from the Export control documentation that it can only deal with one collection at a time.
Would it not be simpler to use a button and the SaveData function like this for the OnSelect of the button:
SaveData(Collection_1, "SavedCollection1"); SaveData(Collection_2, "SavedCollection2")
Please let me know if this helps.

Yes, while the SaveData function would be easier, I want to take the collection that I have created and export that, so I could potentially e-mail it to someone. I want the app to be a "fill in the blank" app that will complete a collection, then with the last button, export the collections that were created to be used outside of the app. I tried the SaveData function, but it does not do what I am looking for.
