Hi!

I need to create a App the scenario is:
Power App that has a list of questions. The user looks at the questions if they don't find it then they submit a new one. In few words I am just struggling about the design or what to use. Trying with gallery but I don't thing is the case. They need to search as a google search in a text box search and I don't think that is possible Any ideas? Is quite a long list of questions and a bit of text.

Any help would be appreciated😀

Hello @titawitch

You were right at first:

Use SharePoint to store your data. Database would be like this:

Display the questions using gallery. I think gallery is good cause one keyword can be in multiple questions.

Learn about Search function, so you know how to filter your gallery
https://www.spguides.com/power-apps-search-function/

Once you know it, you can create a button with Visibility only shown if there are zero results. GalQA below is the name of the results gallery.
If(CountRows(GalQA.AllItems)=0,true,false)

✔️
Just in case my response helped you solve your problem, please mark/accept this as a SOLUTION. This helps community members if they experience a similar issue in the future.

thanks. I have a edit for so the formula "If(CountRows(Gallery1_1.AllItems)=0,true,false)" needs to go to the visible property of it. But not sure what is the Item property of the form?
I test it with a button and it works 🙂

If you are using the form to view the selected Gallery item, then it should be:
Gallery1_1.Selected

But that information will only show if the display mode of the form is either Edit or View. If it's new, regardless of what is in the Item property, it will always be blank cause it assumes that you will be adding new information.

I just need to add a question, that means that when the condition is met the question datacard should be visible.
If is based in selected item does not work for me. Are there any works around for that?
