This just started late last week. This app already has two other collections in it that were created without issue earlier but now when I go to create a new one (via Collect or ClearCollect) I get this 'name not valid' error.
Any ideas or suggestions to fix this? The only other similar thing I could find out there the user basically said it magically fixed itself after some amount of time.
Thanks, Ed
Hi @Anonymous ,
try this:
ClearCollect(text123,{abc:""})
ClearCollect expects the column names and values (at least one) see the below article for more details and syntax:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-clear-collect-clearcollect
@KrishnaV thanks, I was aware of the syntax requirements but didn't recall it throwing an error so early previously so that was throwing me off a bit. Plus I was trying to use the LookUp function to grab an item from a SP list (not shown in my screenshot) and finally realized in that scenario you leave out the { } brackets - did that and all the errors went away. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that get you, haha! 😣
Not necessarily that, clearcollect always expect either the columns and its values or the dataset directly as below:clearcollect(colABC,Filter(SPList,ID>10))
In the above statement, I have not {} but this works smoothly because I am passing a dataset directly.
I'm Also using a filter but here name is invalid
What shall i do?
The solution is that i was missing a bracket,but can anyone tell me how to delete a reply here
I dont know why it is showing error. It says Name isn't valid. TasksCreate isn't recognized. pls help
