As I mentioned before, my 1st project done by following you tutorial and I'm growing now. Dare to continue with Power Apps despite, I'm the only staff using canvas for MIS. Thank you so much Daniel!
I am new to Power Apps and just started learning things by watching your videos. They are excellent! I can definitely use techniques, tips, and tricks you show for my work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Great video again! Thanks a lot. 👍🏻💐 One question, maybe I have missed it in the video: Why do you use two Patch functions instead of one? Something like: Patch(SharePointListName,Defaults(SharePointListName),{Title:”your title”},Form.updates)
Hey Maximilian, You could do that too. The technique I showed was to demo how to receive the item info and save it to a variable after the first patch has completed. Then use the lookup to update that patch.
Hi, the video was great and easily to follow. I was able to make the first patch work, but the 2nd patch doesn’t work for me. It seems that it’s not recognizing the form update. Is there something I’m missing here?
Daniel, my question is about the variable you use in the OnStart property of the App - VarFormStatus. How does it control the form properties ? Do you assign this variable to a form control somewhere this I missed noticing ? Could you please put that line of code here.
Very useful video indeed. Could you please help me this power apps to be done by myself? (I means can I ask you when there is a problem?) Is there learning/ training for the beginner?
Hi Tin, I highly recommend you make use of some free, self-paced trainings made available by Microsoft. Here are the links- Power Apps - App In a Day (Beginner level) - aka.ms/appinaday Power BI - Dashboard in a Day - powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/diad/ This is a great link to a site by the Microsoft Power Apps group that has several learning resources. powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-powerapps-learning-resources/
Yes you can! Use a gallery to see the list, OnSelect navigate to another screen that has a Form, have the default value of the form as the gallery.selected and Submit(Form).
Hi Daniel. thank you so much for the video, I am facing a problem where when I try to enter in Gallery.Selected into the formula, it does not show up in the autofill drop down, any idea why this is happening?
Hey Umar, Add a test label and set it's default to the gallery.selected and see what data you are getting. That is how I start all my trouble-shooting. :-)
Hi Dan! What if I have 50 attachments and I know the filenames beforehand, how can I display a specific attachment in a gallery, say show all the 3rd attachments or any attachment with filename= (filename I want to show)?
Hi Fibonacci, For 50 attachments you might want to consider using a library instead of a list. Then add another column which you can use to do filtering.
Hey Jeff, I don't have one. In a nutshell, create a flow that is triggered when a new file is uploaded/added and then add actions to copy that file in OneDrive.
@@DanielChristian19 I ask this because I used to be able to do this in SP 2013 with script that leveraged the "Open in Explorer" option. However, that isn't in SP Online and most modern browsers after IE 11 don't allow for it anyway. At work we have a need to transfer all files for upload to a system outside SP but by "upgrading" to SP Online we've lost that capability.
Hi Baldwin, I'll add that to my to-blog list but it might take a while. In a nutshell, you need to have that image publicly available and then embed that image.
Hey Ravana, My educated guess is that you are using collections some where in between and have also used clearcollect which is causing the numbers to mismatch.
Hi Dan, thank for the great video. I used DataCardValue of attachment field to upload file to sharepoint list and it worked, but when I clicked on the file name to download the file in PowerApps it said 'couldn't download - No file'. I don't know what is wrong, but the file was successfully saved on sharepoint. Appreciate if you can help. Thanks,
Your welcome Chantra. Strange that it says -no file. Try using the download function and see if that helps. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-download

Hey Michael,
It sounds like you have reset the form in different places. In my video I added reset at the end.
Daniel, my question is about the variable you use in the OnStart property of the App - VarFormStatus. How does it control the form properties ? Do you assign this variable to a form control somewhere this I missed noticing ? Could you please put that line of code here.
Hey Rohit. Take a look at the video at the 26 minute mark. It shows how to add the formulas in the DefaultMode of the edit form.
@@DanielChristian19 Yes saw it. So we need to add in 2 places: DefaultMode and Items. Right ?
This is so helpful . Thank You..
Glad it was helpful!

Hi Daniel, How can i reference the image in the image Gallery nested in the main gallery OUTSIDE of the screen in a standalone image control ?
Hi Rohit,
Try GalleryName.selected.Uri in an image control. This is the nested gallery.

Do you have a video on PowerAutomating SharePoint List attachments to OneDrive?
Hey Jeff,
I don't have one. In a nutshell, create a flow that is triggered when a new file is uploaded/added and then add actions to copy that file in OneDrive.
You can upload multiple documents but can you download multiple documents from the list item as well?
That is a good question, Phillip. I haven't tried a bulk download.

Hi Dan. Would this same method work for attachments in CDS?
Hi Ian,
I haven't tried this technique with Dataverse (previously known as CDS) tables. There's only one way to find out 😉
Thank you Daniel! все четко!
Your welcome!
brilliant solution, thanks for your help. You're great.......👍
Thanks Jira!
Many thanks.

Hello Daniel - can you also share how to embed a picture in email body
Hi Baldwin,
I'll add that to my to-blog list but it might take a while.

Your welcome Sundra and thanks for your support.
why you just can't just submit, but need to manipulate the patch?
Hi Voltron,
You could use the submit function as well. In this demo I intentionally decided not to. I have explained my reason at 18:13
