Posted on by MG-02091924-0 4
Hi, I've been having trouble with this Power Apps formula, I'm starting to learn how to create apps, and trying to create a questionnaire with SharePoint as well as following a tutorial. However, it seems to give a syntax error
This is the formula I'm using
 
 

ClearCollect(

    colQuestions,

    ShowColumns(

        AddColumns(

            Questions,

            "Answers",

            Table(

                {Answer: ThisRecord.Option1},

                {Answer: ThisRecord.Option2},

                {Answer: ThisRecord.Option3},

                {Answer: ThisRecord.Option4}

            )

        ),

        "Title",

        "Answers"

    )

)

I don't know what the error is. If anyone knows the solution or what I might be doing wrong, I would really appreciate it.

    Hi,
     
    If you look at the Stethoscope in the top right, it should have a red dot like the one below. Click it and find the Screen that the error is on, and it will list all the errors. Before I just say what the issue is, I want you to find the error, and review it, bring it back here after you tried to resolve it and I'll help you resolve it.
