Hello all,

Can I make a DataTable generic , please (change automatically the types and the names DataTable columns) ?

On my first screen, I have a gallery and if I click on an item of my gallery, I can see a DataTable (on an other screen) which displays all informations about an item of gallery.

However, I have an gallery of 20 items, I would not like to create 20 screens and 20 differents DataTables.

Can I create a formula which change the names and types of DataTable columns ?

Many greetings

Samuel.

That is not a typical use of a datatable in PowerApps. A view or edit form linked to the gallery is the best way to see and edit your data.

I don't understand the word "typical" . Do you tell me that this use is impossible in Power Apps ?

I didn't say it is impossible, just ridiculous.

Ok but why is it ridiculous ? DataTable has a better visual aspect than a View Form ?
