Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello!

I'm trying to follow these steps to export/import data on my app.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-export-import

The Export control works fine, but I get an error (invalid argument type) when I put this formula on the Import Control:
"Collect(ImportedProducts, MyData.Data)"

What is the correct synthax to get back my exported data?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous

in your import control
use OnSelect property and add the following

Collect(ImportedProducts,ImportButtonName.Data)

where ImportButtonName is the name of the import control

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you share the name of Import control? Did you modify the name to ‘MyData’?
According my test, I find the cause of you problem is that the control name is inconsistent with the call name of formula.
You should make sure that the name of import control is “MyData”.

Best regards,
Sik

Nope, no solution. Had to remove that functionality from my app. 😞

I am having the same issue @Anonymous @v-siky-msft

If I delete the import control and add again with the same expression in the on select propertie, I do not got the error. I go to mobile or even web browser app and try to use the import control, and it does not work.

If I try to change the expression in the on select (just rename the import control for example), I got the same error @Anonymous got. It does not work anyway.
