Open specific file

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi, 

 

On PowerApp, I would like to open specific files which are in a document library. 

 

On the app, i give details (from a sharepoint list) about concepts. 

In the documents library, they are some additional documents about the concepts. They are not always available. 

If there are in the folder, they are named like the concept name. 

 

What I would like to do is, when, for a specific concept, the file is available, display an hyperlink on PowerApp.

 

I tried to use a data table but all the files in the document library are displayed. I would like to have only the good one.

 

I hope I have been clear and I thank you for your help

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Firstly, what references do you have to the "specific concept"? Is it only something in the file name of do you have a field in the Library. Also if they are in a folder named this, how many documents are n the Library?

    Hi @WarrenBelz 

     

    Sorry for my late reply, 

     

    I was working on this task and think that I found something... I am using a datatable linked to the specific folder. I added a condition: display the link to the file which has the same name as the specific concept. 

     

    Because I don't have field in the library and in the library, there will be as much as documents people have. 

     

    I don't know if I chose the right solution

     

    Thanks for your help
