Default focus on Gallery Item

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by PowerAppsUser2 34

Hello,

 

I have a Gallery_1 with a table that has data from Dataverse with some filter on createdon. I am displaying every item as button with date Text. When a user selects the button it auto expands and shows information about the selected item. 

 

Now, I want to auto expand/Default of the gallery. If createdon = today expand/select this item of the gallery on load.

 

Tried with lookups but without luck and clearly unsure of how the apply the formula. Any approaches?

    Hi @PowerAppsUser2 

    For the focusing: Change the Default property of the gallery into Lookup(Gallery_1.AllItems,createdon = Today()).

    For the expanding, did you use a variable in your button to know which record to expand? If so, set the variable into something like Lookup(Gallery_1.AllItems,createdon = Today()) every time it resets.

    Hello, Used GroupBy to show all the records that are created on each day. Segregated each day with Buttons. Created a button and inserted on gallery. On the button text field used the created on date to show the short date.
