Showing images in a gallery with a OneDrive Excel file as source

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 234

Hi All,

 

I would like to show images in a gallery with the source being a OneDrive Excel file, containing a list of the file paths of the images in the OneDrive folder. I have followed the documentation here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/add-images-pictures-audio-video and everything works up until step 10, where the images are not displayed in the gallery, but the PowerAppsId column is created. I have followed the suggestions in other similar questions on this forum such as https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Add-Images-From-OneDrive-to-Gallery/td-p/158730 but I haven't had any success. 

 

I notice that when I get to step 10 on the documentation above, the data type is returned as text, rather than an image. ("Images" being the name of the column containing the file paths of the images I want to display, similar to the documentation).

Would appreciate some guidance with this 🙂

Thanks in advance

    Hi @Criptop ,

     

    The problem occurs because the URL of the image is not a public link. 

    In the Image control, the image can be displayed correctly only when the URL of the image is public. 

    I tried to reproduce your problem:

    But you can create a new idea through the below URL, then ask  your colleagues to raise up the votes.  

     Power Apps Ideas - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) 

     The  product team has direct visibility of these ideas and they will implement it on the basis of the highest number of votes received. 

     

    Best Regards,

    Levi
