Validate / content check the uploaded file in PowerApps

Hello,

I am fairly new to Power Apps and wanted an idea if the below scenario is possible ?

1. Upload a file (e.g. a Excel / .CSV) - 

2. Validate the file content for correctness - e.g. Are the Column names as required / Value of the Column in the correct format ?

3. If validation approves do next task, e.g.  upload it further to a Database

 

Thanks in advance !

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    Do you want to validate the uploaded file content for correctness within your app?

     

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently. Currently, there is no way or function supported to validate the content of the uploaded file.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    Hello,

    I'm pretty sure that this is doable but I don't think that PCF is the best solution for your scenario.
