ReportSo for each project we have an excel file named something like "Drawing List_.xlsm" and this is located in a folder path to something similar to C:/XXXXXX/XXXXXX//XXXX/Project_number_XXXX/XXXXX/XXXX/Drawing List.xlsm.
I was wondering if I can just type the project number into PowerApps and it pulls up the folder, then follow another file path then pulls the excel file that I need and pulls that data into PowerApps. For each project, the folder path is the same, the only thing that changes is the Project_number and the _XXXX that follows after that. (something similar to this: C:/XXXXXX/XXXXXX//XXXX/Project_number_XXXX/XXXXX/XXXX/Drawing List.xlsm.) the rest stays the same.
I know how to link excel to PowerApps, I am just not sure on how to call on different excel list with a slight change in the file name. The XXXX after the project number (Project_number_XXXX) changes as well, so I just want to type the project number in, and retrieve the excel data from that. The excel spreadsheet is not uploaded to sharepoint, so I need to be working with the copy saved on the hard drive.
Is there a way to do this? I am fairly new to PowerApps, so I am looking for any pointers/ URL links videos to point me in the right direction.
