Hi everyone,
I had a screen in which I was storing the data in a collection (Timesheet), and I wanted to provide a PDF Download option at the top

So when a user clicks on the button all the data that is present on the screen should be saved in the PDF. I have come across some videos like Rezza's where he has explained on how to export data in PDF through HTML format and then email them as well (but in that he given the basic information but not demonstrated on how to save the file on local like desktop, laptop). Is there any solution for it, do let me know.

This is the collection that contains the data:

Power Apps PDF Function Introduction by Rezza
So I check the above video and used to export to PDF using SharePoint List with Power Automate, but in this case the file will be saved in my SharePoint list directory and if other user wants to download it I will need to provide/share it with them. So instead I want every user to have option to download the data displayed in PDF format (or Excel) which they can refer to from their won laptop/desktop
PDF OnSelect:

Power Automate:

Also if possible, it would be great if anyone can help me with my another query which was regarding incorrect attempts while logging in, the link for which is:
Password Screen

Hi @Sidhant_02 ,

Actually, you can leverage the Print() function to print current screen and save as PDF.

Print function in Power Apps - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

Hi @v-jefferni ,
If possible could you just provide me with the example (using the above information). Also could you also have a look at my second query which is Password Screen (which is mentioned at the end: It will redirect you to the question)

Hi @v-jefferni ,
I will using the print function, but there are some limitations that it does not allow to print SharePoint Forms (so for that is there any solution). Also please do have a look at this: Password Screen

Hi @Sidhant_02 ,

It's not supported to use in a Customize form in SharePoint, but is supported to print forms that connect to SharePoint list.

For another question, you have not posted codes in text so it's difficult for me to type them all. Also, I don't think a column to save attempts is required. Simplified code for your reference:

If( !IsBlank(LookUp(...).Title), Update(badPasswordCount, First(badPasswordCount), {Value: 0}); SaveData(badPasswordCount,"Attempts");Navigate(Home), IsBlank(LookUp(...).Title) && First(badPasswordCount).Value < 10, Update(badPasswordCount, First(badPasswordCount), {Value: Value+1}); SaveData(badPasswordCount,"Attempts");Navigate('Incorrect details'), IsBlank(LookUp(...).Title) && First(badPasswordCount).Value = 10, SaveData(badPasswordCount,"Attempts");Navigate('Freezing Screen') )

OnStart:

If(1=0, ClearCollect(badPasswordCount,{Value:0}), LoadData(badPasswordCount,"Attempts"))

Best regards,

Thanks @v-jefferni 😊,
For the expression I will try it out and let you if there any further issues. Also if a user exceeds the limit then as you have given a Freezing screen is there a way that the user cannot navigate to any other screen for a time period like 5 minutes or login-in again if they try to for a certain period.
This the expression on my Login page for Submit button:
f(
!IsBlank(
LookUp(
'Login List',
Title = TextInput1.Text And Password = TextInput2.Text
).Title
),
Navigate(Home),
Set(badPasswordCount,badPasswordCount+1),
Navigate('Incorrect Deatils')
);
Reset(TextInput1);
Reset(TextInput2);
//If User enters wrong password 3 times then navigate to Jail screen: to be created
If(badPasswordCount=3,
Navigate(Home)
)
So the code that you have mentioned, where should it be placed?

Regards,
Sidhant.

Hi,
I did try your expression but have some issues:
On-Start:
And when I used your expression on Login button by removing my previous expression (which I have shared recently)
Could you just explain the working of expression that you have shared (for understanding)
Also do have a look at: Query 2 (I have tagged you in it as well, so you can reply there)

Regards,
Sidhant.
