So I'm trying to make a two level left navigation menu using component in Power Apps and in this video I am watching https://youtu.be/3S0h2nODcxM  the person is able to make a collection and when he goes to view the collection it comes up with all the information he has created however when I go to my collections I only get the headings or tabs of the likes of MenuScreenNavigate but not information is populated under the tabs. What am I doing wrong?

    First there is no collection needed for what you are trying to do.  A collection is an in-memory database that carries the overhead of such.  It is much more performant to simply put your table into a variable.

     

    As for your collection at this point - this just means there is nothing in it.  So, I would have a look at your clearcollect or collect statements to determine what you are putting in there.  Or share the formulas that you have problems with.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
