Lookup Excel list to display images from folder in cloud storage PowerApps

Posted on by 10

Hi I'm very new, this is test/training data I am playing with here and I'm redoing old training as a refresher but it was based on sharepoint data that I dont have access to any more.

 

What I'm trying to do is Display an image on the gallery according to the Rego of the car.  I have all of my files saved to the cloud. 

 

No error is displayed, but no image is displayed either.  The formula says 'This formula uses scope, which is not presently supported for evaluation.'

My photos are saved in the Car_Photos folder  & Excel look as follows:

I also then need to display these images in a gallery according to the rego number, which is also proving difficult.

I'm probably doing something very simple wrong, but I cannot work it out, so all help is greatly appreciated.

    Where are the image files located?

     

    It seems like the formula is working but the location of the image is not found. Is it in cloud server/your pc or somewhere else?

     

    Cheers!

    The image column that you have defined in your DataSource, has .\Car_Photos\1CP4JX_1.jpg.

     

    Where is this located, the information that you have mentioned in the image column? Are the images stored in your computer?

     

    Cheers!

    They are stored on my OneDrive for Business account, which is my datasource for this test application.

    It seems like the image location column in your excel data has incomplete URL.

     

    The column will need to have direct links to the images.

     

    Check the following:

    Hope this helps!

     

    Cheers!
