Displaying array object on Datatable or dropdown

Posted on by Poweruser96

I have developed a custom connector in PowerApps that retrieves data in the following format:

[
{
"productModelName": "Mobile",
"brand": "Samsung",
"Comunication": [
"Bluetooth",
"Wifi",
"5G"
]
},
{
"productModelName": "Mobile",
"brand": "Apple",
"Comunication": [
"Bluetooth",
"Wifi",
"5G",
"4G"
]
}
]

I am trying to bind this collection to a DataTable, but I am unable to display the 'Comunication' column because it is an array. Instead of showing the values, it displays as [[error]].

I also tried different methods to access the values of the Comunication column, such as:

First(collProducts).Comunication
Index(First(collProducts).Comunication, 1)

However, I am still unable to access this data properly. My goal is to display the values of the Comunication array in a dropdown control.

Could someone please help me figure out how to achieve this?

Hi

So one, on the Data Table, go to the Fields, and Uncheck that field so it doesn't even try.

Also, you say it gives back this data, but you don't specify how you use the data. Is the Data Table Source just that thing????

The problem is, in the Data Table, it cannot do what you are asking, so try to remove it from the used Fields, then use it only in the Drop down/Combo.

Also make sure to convert it to a JSON(mydata) not just the output as its just a string really.
