Data not showing up in Gallery

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hi,

 

I'm new to Power Apps. I created an App with 2 screens. One is the main screen with the title and subtitle layout showing the task name and assignee's name. The other screen has a form with all the information. I imported the data from SharePoint to Power BI desktop and by using the power app visual I started working on Power Apps. 

 

I've added a button which navigates to the Form when a particular task is selected. I saved the Power App and then published it. When I go back to the Power BI desktop it works fine and all the data is shown. I was able to navigate between both the screens and the changes made in the form are actually shown in the Datasource.

 

Now the main problem I'm facing is when I re-open the Power App to add something or make changes, I get a blank screen with only button present and I'm not able to see the task name and assignee's name on the gallery. When I click on the preview the app option, I get a blank screen even without the button visible to click on it and go to the form.

 

Attached screenshots for your reference.

 

Kindly help me with the solution what should I do to see the data on the gallery to make new additions.

 

Thanks in advance.

    On the FORM screen - What is the default forms DisplayMode set to?

    In design mode, click on the form and go to the DisplayMode (Top Left-hand corner)

    I suspect that it is DisplayMode=DisplayMode.NEW

    So its giving you a blank form which it is expecting you to fill in.

     

    You will have to tell the app to switch modes between NEW, EDIT and VIEW - depending on your situation.

     

    As a newbie, I would suggest that you duplicate the Screen.

    Call the screen something like 'Screen_Edit' and the Form named to 'Form_Edit' (or whatever you like)

    Then on Form_Edit set DisplayMode=DisplayMode.View (OR DisplayMode.EDIT if you prefer)

     

    Now click on the 'FORM_Edit' form, and change the Source property to the name of the table where your data is coming from.

    This tells the form where to get the data from.

     

    In your case, I think that the table name is PowerBIIntegrations.Data -

    You can find the correct name if you click on the data sources icon on the left)

    Then (Still on the FORM_EDIT form), change the ITEM property to 

    First(Filter(PowerBIIntegrations.Data, ID_FieldName = Selected.Gallery1.ID_FieldName))

    Replace ID_fieldname with the name of the field that uniquely identifies the record that you want to show.

    This property says : Show me the first record that exists in the source table (PowerBIIntegrations.Data) where the ID_FieldName (in the source table) matches the ID_FieldName that has been selected in the gallery.

     

    Now select the Screen that has the Gallery in it and

    Click on the Gallery.

    Find the OnSelect property (Top left-hand corner)

    and set its value to : Navigate(Screen_Edit)

    So now, when you run the app, every time that you click on an item in the gallery, it will take you to the Screen_EDIT screen for you to edit the existing record.

     

    Your next challenge will be to add a SAVE button to this screen and write the code to Patch the data.
