PowerApps table file location

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

I have built a PowerApp from a template and want to make adjustments to the template's table, however I am unable to access the actual excel file that contains the table. I looked all over my OneDrive and all other computer locations but I am unable to find a way to get a path to where the template's table is to edit it.

Can someone tell me where it would be defaulted to? Or if there is a button/option that "takes me to the table" that I am not seeing?

 

Thank you,

    If you used the "Excel file" connector, there is no editable table.  It is static data imported into your app.  You can transform it by bringing it into a Collection.

    Excel is a horrible data source and you won't be able to save your changes... you'd want to use at the very least Excel Online (Business) to be able to do something with the data.  https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/connections/connection-excel

     

     

    If you just need to see the data, try using Insert > Data Table

    My apologies, but either I am completely misinterpreting what you have posted, or I may not have asked the right question.

    I did not make an Excel file first. I used the Inventory Management Template. I'm trying to find the Excel File with the table that this Template is using, because in reading what I have looked into there is supposed to be one. My question is, where do I find it?
