Hi,

I have a gallery (TravelGallery) that links with a Dataverse Table (Travel Reimbursements) and I have added my trashcan icon to delete that row but it isn't working. Thoughts?

Remove('Travel Reimbursements',ThisItem)

Hi @gfeldhake

Your formula is correct. Could there be some other issue going on?

For further testing, you can set your TemplateFill to something like this: If(ThisItem.IsSelected, Color.WhiteSmoke, Color.White). That way you can confirm your "ThisItem" is truly selected in your Gallery.

@Rusk, I changed the color to DimGrey so you could see it better in the screenshot.

So you definitely have your item selected, so that's not the issue. I don't know honestly... it looks correct to me. A similar formula for your trash can icon OnSelect would be
RemoveIf('Travel Reimbursements',ID = ThisItem.ID)
When you test both of those, are there any kind of errors?

Alternatively, what if you pull your table into a collection for testing and then use that collection in your gallery? Does it work then?

@Rusk I tried the other formula and got this error:

So I tried it with "ID" replaced with TravelID and that didn't work either.

I am not sure what you mean by pulling the data into a collection. Can you explain that?

Got it... the "ID" is just a column name, apologies for not explaining that better. You'd use there the name of whatever your main identifier column is, maybe "Title" or whatever it would be.

If you add a button for testing, to pull the data into a collection you would use this on the OnSelect property:

ClearCollect(colTest,'Travel Reimbursements')

or something like that. colTest would be the name of the collection, and 'Travel Reimbursements' is your data source. After pressing the button, you can go to "Collections" to see the first 5 items and confirm it worked.

Then change the Items in your Gallery to colTest. Then, test your Remove formula again.
Remove(colTest,ThisItem)

If the item is deleted correctly, then we know there is some issue with your data source. OR, if we can't pull it into a collection, then we also know something else is going on.
