Gallery using Excel Row instead of Columns

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am currently trying to do an horizontal Gallery that takes its data from an Excel File. Now i have no Issues adressing the columns in the Excel file by doing:

ThisItem.'column_name'.

But i dont find any way to do the exact same using horizontal rows from Excel.
I would want to have scrollable grid of textinputs and using columns only i would need to manually do 50 Vertical textinputs while horizontally it would be maybe 10.

I appreciate any help and hope the questions is not to obvious.

Not sure on excel; if there is a solution, it will not be straightforward - it is an intentional design where you cannot variably retrieve column names, but have to know them

Here is an example for how it was performed for a sharepoint list, using power automate: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/How-get-columns-name-from-sharepoint-list/m-p/800013#M255456

Hi @Anonymous ,

Not possible - when Power Apps uses Excel as a Data Source, it does it with a named group of cells formatted as a Table. The columns are the fields and the rows are the records - it is not a spreadsheet anymore and is only seen as a data source - no different from a SharePoint List or and SQL Table.
