after redoing my "add column" 140 gazillion times because I couldn't figure out why it wasn't showing up in my collection - Shane came to the rescue! Thank you!!
I really appreciate the quality of your videos. Well put together, and you don’t forget that the camera is in the wrong place, you don’t type in a bunch of code that doesn’t work and make the viewer suffer through the experience while you troubleshoot for 5 minutes. Keep up the good work!
The man, the myth, the legend! Shane, you’ve helped me tremendously, across multiple videos and forums that you appear on! Im fairly new to PowerApps and I just created an onboarding form that’s rather complex, pulling data from multiple data source. My next step (about 80% done) is the back end process automation (poweshell). Thank you for all that you do!
All other videos should lead to this one! I wish I'd watched this weeks ago. This video solves all my data manipulation issues, collections now become very powerful. No more back and fourth to my data source. Yet another great vid with layered with golden nuggets of info throughout. Love your work Shane.
Hey Shane, have you made a video on Groups or featuring use of? Groups seem to be used a lot in the Powerapps templates. I don't use them, and I feel like I might be missing out.
Thanks Shane, Was stuck trying to figure out how to reference different lists in one gallery until your video. Your videos are awesome. Keep up the great work. See you soon.
Shane, great job as usual. However, my ears perked up a bit when you mentioned using collections to bring in data and minimize data requests. This is one of the things I've really struggled with, particularly working with SharePoint data sources and updating/refreshing information. For example, I have a gallery with a bunch of orders; click an order, update it in a form on another screen, then come back to the gallery to find the old data there! I've been using collections to work around delegation warnings, which may be what's causing a lot of my issues. Anyway, a video on how to properly (cleanly & efficiently) update/refresh data when using collections would be fantastic! Keep up the good work!
I'm sure it is, but using it at our organization would require getting the DBAs involved and turn every PowerApps project from a few weeks to several months. We're also looking at CDS, or will be when our license gets upgraded. Right now, we're stuck with SharePoint as our primary data source.
@@johnbrennan8442 actually, I stopped using collections entirely in that app (and many others). Delegation for SharePoint data is not as restrictive as it used to be, and I learned that collections rarely solve problems, they just change the source of the problem.
Finding this video today has solved a ton of issues I was struggling with, in terms of how to pull in data from secondary lists - thank you Shane! QUESTION: Not entirely related, but I'm hoping you can please point me in the right direction of what function I could apply if I needed to reference data that's sitting in a specific column in a series of filtered records (ex SharePoint). e.g. If I filter a list to show all records relating to CompanyX, can I retrieve the corresponding Dates that are sitting in Column3 of those records? The number of line items that exist for each Company does vary.... (I'm needing to extract this data in order to trigger a series of Flows.)
Great video Shane! Thanks!! It's for sure a good use of our time to see your videos. Will most definitely check out that new learning platform you are building! :)
Hi Shane, many thanks for this video I have a collection from a SQL data source and another collection from a sharepoint site. I am trying to merge both datasets into a single collection to make a gallery from it. I've tried the method in your video, over and over again, my collection only spools data from one of the datasources. The AddColumn column shows in the collection but it has blank records. Please what could be the issue?
Hi Shane, Just a word of caution.... I work in a regulated environment and we never "manipulate" data we only "transform" it.... Just in case you ever get such a customer... don't scare them
Shane, thank you for your videos. I've learned lots from your expertise. Is there a way to use a text input field to search 2 data sources at once? (i.e. have parent/child relation galleries and filter both galleries based on search?
Hi young!! Hope you are doing well!! Thats a great video I need a help if i can add columns in a table with my actual dataset amd save them all in another sheet with reviewing
First and foremost.... thank you soooooooooo much for your time and effort on these videos!!! Your tutorials are the best! question: creating a shopping cart style order form for work and i have two collections: user info and cart info that i want to merge to one sharepoint list on submission. Would I use AddColumns to aggregate data on both collections into one sharepoint list?
@@ShanesCows finally figured it out yesterday! Felt so good to do so! Lol. Couldn't do it apples for apples with collect(collection1,collection2) so did it with a forall. Again. Thanks for the awesome videos!
Great video…One question, if you use drop columns will it increase performance? Or the command that keeps only specific columns, say you only want 3 columns when your list has 20 columns. Would it increase performance? My data gets updated quite regularly, so I’m trying avoid collections in this scenario.
Thank you very much for that introduction! Is it possible to add a column in a "main table" that content is the number of rows in a detail table related to the main table?
The LookUp(Departments, Title = Department).Manager, does this only work if the table has a many-to-one relationship? Like if the lookup column is on the Departements table, does it work? Or only if the lookup is on the Employees?
Hi Shane, Thank you it's really helpful. This seems pretty simple but I can't figure it out. Take your example, how can I list full names in the dropdown menu?
Hello Shane, great video as usual. I have this instance where I have a form and I want to add fields from another data source, but my form already uses a lookup to a Gallery to populate it, how can I merge the AddColumns and the Lookup under the item property?
Hi Shane, Thanks for sharing this helpful video. Yes, AddColumns can be done & can Save it in Collections. But is there a way to save the data from the collections in One Drive or Share point or a Server? I intend to use this data & create dashboards in Power BI. Hence, I very much need the data that is available in the add columns.
Would you be able to provide an example of how you use ShowColumns in a repeating table scenario like you mentioned in your video? We have a resume database of sorts that built based off of quite a lot of your videos, particularly your Repeating Table videos. Problem I'm having is generating a printable resume and have something like their work history line up properly. An example of this is something like: Jon has three previous employers, but the report does not distinguish which job description belongs to which company. I can elaborate more if needed, but I'm hoping that an example of how you might do it with your repeating tables may get me in the right direction. I'm just going in circles right now.
Question, I can't find an answer for this online, is there a cap on how many columns a datasource can have before powerapps breaks? I am working with someone elses datasource, its a sharepoint list with an ungodly amount of columns that they had working with a nintex form, we need to make effectively the same form in powerapps but the datasource does not seem to work at all and the only thing I can think of is the huge amount of columns being the issue thanks in advance

Hi Shane nice video, I have a doubt about the data source. Can I choose specific columns? Because I have a table with a blob colum that don't need on my gallery. Can I deselect this colum to load?
Shane, solid work, and thank you for all the videos! (bar-code scan really helped) I'm working on a gallery that is showing a filtered list from a table. I need it to be a gallery because at any time the list of items could change. However, I also want to have different controls showing for each questions, in case the question is True/False or a text input, but I don't want to have the toggles visible when it's a text input, but I can't seem to get the gallery to show or hide controls per record. Any ideas? Thanks again!
Shane, I'm trying to make a collection,addcolumn and fill it with a datediff calculation. Is this possible? Normal if statements work but I'm having problems with the datediff.

I want to use Add Columns as a way to change column names - when I do, PowerApps places the column order by alphabetical order and not the way I want the column order to be - is there a way to get around this?
Why does Column order matter? The preview tool always shows the columns in alphabetical order no matter what. You might be able to use ShowColumns and specificy the order but I have never tried.
@@ShanesCows The customer wants the ability to click a button to download filtered data into an excel file. I can do this via a CSV export but the column names are reordered to alphabetic order.

How can I "display only" information in the form (that has edit portions) that is information from a column of the list without allowing anyone to change it?
hi shane, how can we make the droplist to show the title while in the patch we actually patch the ID of that text, as if we have a SPlist that has IDs of the transactions not the text?
I'm trying to display names (one or more) in a powerapp Gallery field. The data is from a sharepoint person or group lookup list. I am able to display one name when the collumn does not allow multiple selections. However if I change it to allow multiple selections I get an error in the power app. The formula in Text is set to ThisItem.Names.DisplayName It works fine when I only allow one choice, when I switch it to allow multiple the error displayed is "The property expects text values, but this rule produces incompatable table values". Any Ideas? Thanks for any help.
When you store mutli-values you have records not text as the error says. Look at using the Concat function to turn the records back into text in your label.

I don't know how to do the TAB character yet...
this is what I have so far... [the Filter is for selecting only 500 rows at a time to display in my listbox... since I have over 20k records... ]
Filter(ShowColumns(colORAMeters,"METER_ID","MTR_SEARCH","ROWNUM"),MTR_SEARCH=Dropdown1_1.SelectedText.Value,StartsWith(METER_ID,searchQuery))
I'm using this app so users can modify parameters Stored in SQL to be used in PowerBI /Paginated Report filters - Thanks!
Find the ascii code for tab and then use the Char(13) function but replace 13 with the number for tab
Hi Shane, how would i use addcolum on a gallery with a filter?
AddColumns(Filter(datasource, columnname = 1), “ShaneWasHere”, “yup”)

Replied to your other comment.
Hello
I have created a app in power app with premium user login. When I shared that with my work mate it opens but won't work further. Not sure whats happening.
Please help
What is your data source? Does the user have access to the data source?
@@ShanesCows yes the excel.file from which app us sourcing data is saved in one drive. Which is shared by everyone
Hello Shane,
I had followed the process as indicated, but now have a problem. whenever i try to save hard the sharepoint list is not getting updated, even if my collection is updated. and also the Save button is not showing up any toggles whereas my record button shows up the toggle and saves the list in collection. Please let me know if i can sort out the issue
Not sure. Break it down into baby pieces and see if you can find the missing info.
Coincidentally, I heard in the news today that the University of California have devised a more accurate method calculating "dog years" :-), check it out.
Oh fun. I will have to look that up.
where do i get age? in sharepoint there is no age
Age is one of my SharePoint column names.
@@ShanesCows employees columns? I didn't find it
