Create gallery of variables

Posted on by kreed11

Is it possible to access the app's variable list and throw all the variables into a collection to be displayed in a gallery? I know they are viewable inside the app's "Variables" right next to collections but I want to be able to put them into a gallery or list on a page within the app.

Hi @kreed11,

Something like this

ClearCollect( colVar, {VarName: "Variable 1 - " & var1}, {VarName: "Variable 2 - " & var2}, {VarName: "Variable 3 - " & var3}, {VarName: "Variable 4 - " & var4} )

or to make it dynamic in the Gallery - just make the Items

Table( {VarName: "Variable 1 - " & var1}, {VarName: "Variable 2 - " & var2}, {VarName: "Variable 3 - " & var3}, {VarName: "Variable 4 - " & var4} )

Thanks for the quick response. However, using this method I would have to list every variable manually correct? I want, possibly in the OnVisible or OnStart property, to create the collection by automatically retrieving all the variables used in the app. Is there a way to tap into the variable list (image below) or the app cache to get them?

Hi @kreed11 ,

Power Apps has no "holistic vision" of your Variable list except selecting them as you have in Design Studio, so yes, you would need to hard-code them. Also bear in mind that if you are using any Context Variables, the gallery will only work on the relevant screen.
