How to Autofill a table based on a Text Input that triggers a SQL Query

Posted on by SharePointAU

I have form that needs to take a value via Text Input (autocomplete if possible), and auto fills other fields in the form based on a SQL query. The query joins several tables to get the data. Is that possible, and if not how should I go about collecting that data to use?

Hi @SharePointAU,

If the SQL Query here means the View, then currently this is not available.

There is an idea submitted on this already:

PowerApps must also see SQL Azure Queries, not only Tables

PowerApps by now could only work with the actual data table, if you would like to use the data from Multiple tables, then you need to add all the related tables as data source in PowerApps.

After that, take use of the filter or Lookup function to find the proper data.

Filter, Search, and LookUp function in PowerApps

Regards,

Michael

Thank you for your response. I am not asking how to see the View. I literally meant to use a SQL Query.
However, I have since figured this out that where I have trouble "joining" tables, i can simply lookup the keys and hide them on the page to use in Lookups for the remaining data.

I now have a solution that allows me to enter a number in a text field, and auto populate other fields in my form based on SQL Data from several tables.
