Hi,
I'm having a mailId column in sql server which is encoded to Base64 and now I want to decode it to String in Powerapps and show the mailId in gallery in Powerapps.
Is it possible to do?
Thanks
Oh, how many records at any one given time? Going to have to be filtered and under delegation limit then passed through a forall
Yes but if the base64 code is in a gallery of items and the button is outside of this gallery how will the button know which record in your gallery of items to reference?
Hi @TheRobRush ,
I don't want to add a button inside a gallery (as it is not a requirement).
I want if I click on button (which is outside a gallery), then it'll decode base64 value to it's original value.
It's look like this:
I'm getting encoded values from Sql server.
Show me what you mean. Assuming your source is in a splist or dataverse list and being displayed in a gallery in powerapps? If so put the button in your gallery, and replace the label part with thisitem.whatevercolumnthebase64isin
Hi @TheRobRush ,
it's totally working correctly, thanks for the answer.
But like my encode values is in gallery and it is not encoding gallery data, then what should i choose for this?
I'm new to automate flows, so don't know what triggers or actions to choose.
Thanks

Then hop over to PowerAutomate, click Create > Instant Cloud Flow, and select PowerApps
When this opens, delete the top step, PowerApps, it will give you a warning, throw caution to the wind and continue anyways.
Now click the + at top, and search for powerapps, and select PowerApps (V2) Give this a text option in it, and give it a name you liek.
click + again and search for initialize variable. Set its name to whatever you want, mines 64String, Type is string, and Value click in the box and then on the right clicjk expression, start typing base, and select base64 to string, once clicked type a ( and it will automatically Put () click inside those and then just above to left select dynamic content and choose the base64 output from the powerapps step 1shoudl look similar to this when done
base64ToString(triggerBody()['text'])
Next click + again and choose respond to a powerapp or flow
add a text, and give it the value of output of our previous step.
whole thing when done looks like this
Save this flow, then exit it and make sure its turned on, turn it on if not
Now go back to powerapps.
add a flow,
now add a button, and make it's OnSelect
///Label17.Text is where I pasted my base64 Code to test
///.yourstring yourstring is name of the returned variable we setup in our flow
UpdateContext({new64string:'64toString'.Run(Label17.Text).yourstring})
now anywhere in the app you can reference new64string and it will show you the decoded base64, in my example you will get,
