(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 303

Hello everyone,

I'm very new to PowerApps and all it's limitations. I want to know if it's possible to fill out a powerapps datafields like name, goals, expectations, etc. and store it as a SP list item and then retrieve the list item in 6 months and add more data for other fields, Is this possible? And how would I go about this?

    Hi @JMAFO ,

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think PowerApps could achieve your needs.

    For your first question, on your side, you could consider generate an app based on your SP list, then an app with three screens would be generated. After that, you could use this generated app to add, delete, modify records in your SP list.

    More details about generating an app based on a SP list, please check the following article or video:

    For your second question, within the first screen of above generated app, it contains a Gallery control, which used to list records of your SP list. If you want to retrieve the list items in 6 months, you could consider take a try to filter your Gallery items using Filter function.

    I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:3.JPG

    Set the Items property of the Gallery to following formula:

    SortByColumns(
    Filter(
    '20190108_MainList',
    StartsWith(Title, TextSearchBox1.Text),
    Created >= DateAdd(Today(), -6, Months) /* <-- Add this formula here */
    ),
    "Title",
    If(SortDescending1, Descending, Ascending)
    )

    Best regards,
