    Hi @Ramole ,

     

    It's not feasible if with a single TextInput box.

     

    You could use the allow searching Combobox instead.

     

    If you are in an Edit Form, then Update of the data cards set to:

    If(IsEmpty(Combobox.Selected.Value),Combobox.SearchText,Combobox.Selected.Value)

     

    In short, both Combobox.Selected.Value and Combobox.SearchText could be used to save to data source.

    @Ramole ,

     

    Then you should use a Combo box in the Gallery.

     

    Items set to

     

    DataTable.Column

     

     

    If you don't want a combo box, then please refer to below thread:
