Inpput/Populate Text Input Fields from a Text File

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

Hi.

I just started using Power Apps and I'm looking for ways to input/populate text input fields from a text file.

I have 3 text input fields, say x-inpupt, y-input, and z-input, and I want to fill these 3 fields upon starting the app instead of typing data into these 3 fields.

I was searching through Powe Apps forums but could not find the solution I'm looking for.

What would be an easy way to populate these 3 fields from a text file?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Shinichi

    Hello @ManakaS 

     

    I think for this, you will need to use Power Automate since it has the function to manipulate text files.

     

    This is a CSV example but I hope you can translate the process to your requirement.

    Ah, I see.  I'll try reading text files in Power Automate and pass the data back to Power Apps.
    Thanks for your advice!
