Issue with PDF viewer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 37

In my sharepoint table, there is a column called Attachments where customers can add any pdf files they find important for their order. While I am currently able to display all of the other column data in power apps, I am currently having an issue with using the pdf viewer to load any of the pdfs in the attachments column.

I have tried NameOfGallery.Selected.'{Attachments}', NameOfGallery.Selected.'{Attachments}'.Value, and all of the other available branches, but I keep getting the same error: "The property on this control expects blob values. The rule produces Table values which are incompatible."

I vaguely understand what it is saying, that I need to convert the data to be accepted, or I need to access it in a way that gives it blob values instead, but I am not certain what blob values are or how conversion would work in this case. If people need any more context on my problem before they can attempt to help me, just let me know.

    Hi @QuoteOnQuote,

    Do you want to display the attachment pdf file within the PDF viewer?

     

    Please set the Document property of the PDF viewer as below:

    First(Gallery3.Selected.Attachments).Value
