Looking up a value from a unspecified column depending on conditions?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 15

I am working on an app that connects to a dataverse table which has a few information columns eg 'class1', 'class 2', 'class3' etc  (these columns can vary depending on different schools. )

The table rows are all the item# , which user will enter on the app, to search for the availability in each class column and see if their own class has the item. 

My issue is that it seems impossible to get a tables Column names, to match the users class#. 

Is there a way the set a variable for column names to make this work?

    Hi @ninispalpal1 ,

    No unfortunately - you cannot refer to Power Apps elements such as field, list or control names dynamically - you would have to hard-code it all.
