Create a Dropdown Box in a Gallery

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 21

Hey guys!

 

I'm trying to create a dropdown box inside a gallery using a excel's file as a datasource but it doesn't work.

 

I have a excel file that contains tasks to be done by workers. Every worker has more than one task to be done and they have to fill a campus called "status", that has a dropdown list with fixed status the tasks can be.

They app idea is to display in a home screen all the worker's names in a gallery, so they can choose their own.

 

When they selected their names, it will navigate to another screen that has a Gallery showing their tasks (Gallery filter by the collumn "Worker" they selected in homescreen) and the campus "Status" as a dropdown list for each task. 

After fill all the dropdown boxes for each task, they will click in a button "apply" that will send the filled information to the original Excel file.

 

I created the gallery, it shows the right information for each worker, but when try to add a dropdown box for the Status Field, it always get outside the Gallery as a independent button.

 

How do I create a dropdown box inside the gallery to fill the information in the same field "Status" as the excel's sheet?

 

That's the whole point of creating this powerapp, people stop fill a Excel File and start using the app. Way more friendly.

    Select the Gallery, on the right top of the Gallery there will be an pen icon. Click on the pen icon inside the Gallery before you insert the Dropdown.

     

    That will be it
