Creating an item location display in powerapps.

Hello, thanks for looking into my question.

 

I'm trying to make a virtual tool stores app and I would like to add a 'tool finder' where the user can input the name of an item and a label will display the location of desired tool. 

Unfortunately, I don't know where to start.

 

My data is from tables in excel. The name of a tool is under "description" and location under "location".

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If there's any more information I've missed that you require, please let me know.

 

I really need to impress my boss.

 

Thank you.

    @CJ_364 You can use the LookUp statement to do that.

    LookUp(yourExcelTable, yourNameTextInput.Text in description).location
