Posted on by manjotsingh057 164

I have a requirement where i need to provide an option to users to browse Excel file at runtime.

 

  1. Basically they will see a browse button.
  2. By clicking on browse button they get an option to choose Excel file from their system.
  3. Once file it selected, Then PowerApps should be able to display all records available in Excel table in a gallery control

Is this possible ? can we achieve this functionality using PowerApps ?

    Hi @manjotsingh057 ,

     

    Sorry, your requirements can't be achieved for now in PowerApps.

    All Table/Data displayed in the app must be pre-connected in Edit phase, it's not supported to open and read the data when app is running.

    Hope this helps.
