I have files saved on sharepoint library that associate to different users. Is there a way to use the launch function from power apps to redirect to the currently logged in users file? Is there a way to get the saved file's URL from power automate so that users will be able to go from Launch('URL') to that saved file? I am doing this because we need to be able to print multiple pages which is not possible from power apps.
Hi @PowerAppsHelpCD ,
You can add SharePoint library into PowerApps as data source. Based on logged in user profile, then it's possible to get the file using LookUp and Launch functions:
Launch(LookUp(Documents, Email = User().Email).'Link to item')
Best regards,
Hi @v-jefferni
Thanks for the reply, so I am using modified by and it stores the user's full name there. I tried using
Launch(LookUp(Documents, 'Modified By' = User().FullName).'Link to item')
but it is giving me incompatible types of comparison. These types cant be compared: Record, Text.
How can I fix this?
Modified by is a Person column that stores record/table of people info. So, the formula you need is:
Launch(LookUp(Documents, 'Modified By'.DisplayName = User().FullName).'Link to item')
