Hello everyone

 

How can I show, for example, all the brazilian cities in one list?

 

There are more than 5000

I tried group by state, but it doesn't work because it is too big

 

I want something like this
If o choose RJ (state)-> there will be List with all cities in Rio de Janeiro (500 itens +-)

If o choose SP (state) -> there will be List with all cities in Sao Paulo (600 itens +-)

...

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance

    How about using a combo box, so as you type the city name, Power Apps communicates with the data source and only returns those that match? Scrolling through 500+ items is not a lot of fun, so a Search based approach would likely be better for users.

    Alternately (given that cities don't change often), include a 'hard coded' list of cities as a collection in App On Start. If the cities change, you will need to change the list in your App and republish it.

    Hey @PaulD1 

     

    That's it. I want to search the city, don't need to show everything.

    Could you give me an example? I don't know how to show just the searchbox without a list. I'm begginer on PowerApps, sorry

     

    Thank you for answering
