Multiple Users to Access One Instance of app

Posted on by squeen

I am trying to build a simple Power app that will allow me to run an auction for a football tournament. The purpose of the app would be for each manager to have access and to make bids for players on the app sheet, and for the most recent bid to show on each users app screen.

I can get this to work with buttons but seemingly due to each user being on a difference instance of the app it only shows bids they have made? I also have a timer on the page, and would like all users to see the same timer once triggered.

Hi @squeen ,

The detail you did not include was what you are using as a Data Source. The solution is being able to refresh that at appropriate intervals (a timer could do this) so all users see the current data.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

@squeen ,

Please confirm whether you have imported Excel data (as below)

or you have a formatted Excel Table as the data source using the Excel for Business or OneDrive Connectors (you have a stored Excel file you are reading from).

If the first, there is no solution as you cannot write to the data.

If the second, a refresh may be needed to vie the current data, although you need to write to it to do this (obviously).
