Hey Philbert9879,

Could I ask you what you are trying to achieve?
What you doing right now will just keep you to stay on the screen that you are on right now. App.ActiveScreen is the Screen that is visible at the moment

App object in Power Apps - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn You can find the documentation here

so your If Statement will always result to being wrong since you have it on Home screen and this will always result in you staiyng on the home screen since every target screen is App.ActiveScreen.

Either you use The actual Screen titles to get your table to work or you can use a Switch statement something like this:

If(ThisItem.Title<>Actual Screen name or title, Navigate( Switch( ThisItem.Title, "My Leave Balance", 'title of Leave balance screen', "Company Holiday", 'Expected Screen') ) )

If this Solved your problem please accept it as solution so others can find it as well.

If it helepd in any other way consider giving it a like so wa can keep supporting eachother.

Hi Philbert9879,

Collect all your navigation items in a variable using OnStart:

Set( colSidebarMenu, Table( { Title: "My Leave Request", Screen: LeaveBalance }, { Title: "My Leave Balance", Screen: LeaveRequest } ) )

Add a Custom Input property to your Component, "ItemsTable", and add the following code it:

Table( { Title: "Item 1", Screen: App.ActiveScreen }, { Title: "Item 2", Screen: App.ActiveScreen } )

In your Component, update the Items property of your Gallery to

ComponentName.ItemsTable

OnSelect Property of your Gallery:

Navigate(ThisItem.Screen)

Add your Component to the screens and add your Variable to the ItemsTable input property:

colSidebarMenu

And that's it!
