Parse JSON for use as gallery data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 156

I was hoping to be able to store some data that could be of various lengths as a JSON string, then retrive that information and display it in a gallery. However I get errors when i try to use it as the Items of a gallery object with this:

 

ParseJSON(ThisItem.OrderJSON)

 

I've got a gallery that gets a bunch of items from a sharepoint list, one of the columns is mulitline text and I wanted to have an embedded gallery within my main gallery, that shows each 'row' in the JSON data.

 

Is there any way around this am I out of luck and need to re-consider how I approach this?

    Hi @philjn77 - if you have a look at this article:

     

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/power-fx/reference/function-parsejson

     

    Basically, parseJSON returns an untyped object, you need to convert that to a table.

     

    There's sections towards the bottom of the article on how to do this.

     

    My blog on LinkedIn might help too
