Replicate Excel Feature, Drag to Fill in power apps

Posted on by prlofc3

Hi Community,
Good Year to all.
I have a requirement where I have a SharePoint list where I save data of my progress for sections from 1 to 120. So, starting with basic Columns Category Type, Level,.... after that I have columns from 1 to 120.

In the Power apps using edit form I pulled all the 120 columns but here's the issue I want to use the drag function like in Excel as shown in below image. Is there any way to implement this function in power apps or any other approach to enter the repeating values in a simpler way instead of entering it 120 times.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for more information

Kindly Provide any Solution for the Above Requirement.
I'm open to any kind of suggestions or workarounds for the requirement.
Many Thanks

Hi @prlofc3 , Your screenshots are blur, however with whatever description you mentioned with that are you looking for this feature of excel in PowerApps, please correct me if I am wrong:
If yes, then I am afraid that this kind of feature is available. If not then, could you elaborate more on the requirement with some example.

Thanks,
ANB

Hi @prlofc3,

I don't believe this feature is available with any out of the box controls, unfortunately.

If you need this specific feature then you may need to create a PCF control or see if a similar one exists in PCF Gallery and elsewhere.

Otherwise you may be able to develop a similar feature where you click on the "source" and "destination" cells then map the values across intermittent cell range. It wouldn't be click-and-drag but may still help.

If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.

Hello @KeithAtherton
Thank you for you reply.!
I am not aware of this PCF and am just a beginner level in Power apps. So Is there any kind of work around like Entering the Range of the columns and inserting a values into it or anything else.
Please advice !

Hi @prlofc3 , As said by @KeithAtherton , you might have to explore PCF. Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/component-framework/overview
