Thanks Shane- I put this in an app for my coworkers to try! It is not currently connected to anything other than a collection, but they are having a great time scanning things. I am making a huge effort to eliminate keystrokes and this video was really helpful in understanding the general syntax for interacting with the control. I agree that it was really simple to use. Your stuff is always great. Thanks again!
Awesome. This is probably the feature that got me really excited about Power Apps in the first place.
shane the goat, i needed to add this to my app so i came looking for this tutorial. i knew who would have it, the best powerapps tutorials
Check this one out that goes to the next level. :) czcams.com/video/1rlPduDP_Ew/video.html
Wow many welcomed changes, I will be upgrading out asset management app with this control in the future. This solves one of our biggest headaches with the old control which was the inability to scan items when auto-rotate was on, Thanks again.
Thanks Shane. Looking to use this in my new app
This video helped a bunch! Thanks. How would one reset the values from the reader after submitting the form? I used to create a gallery with barcode scanner then reset it on submit. I was also able to build in duplicate scan protection...anything like that still possible?
Great video! Thank you for sharing such valuable information. I have a question regarding my app. Whenever I scan a barcode using the reader, I'm experiencing an issue where the value is being overwritten instead of displaying it line by line. Do you have any insights or suggestions on how to solve this mystery?
Thanks for this video Shane Young.
I have a requirement where I need to scan the Optical Mark Recognition sheet with the help of canvas app. How I can achieve that? I have checked with various blogs and video but all I found is of bar code, QR code scanner.
What you did at the end with the text field. Can I still do that like with the legacy barcode scanner. 1 scan populates 1 text entry field? The way I was doing it is not working
I've seen similar questions above, and figured I'd add mine. How do I use the barcode reader to add a value to a text field, but that field also has a default of varRecord.ExistingData ?
Basically want to give the user the option to scan or type in.
Hi!
How can I filter a sharepoint gallery based on the scanned barcodes from the barcode reader function?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🚀
Thank you! Can you send me to video that will show me how to add Save & New button- after we scan a bar code one one item, add a few more fields we then will need it to go back to screen1 and CLEAR it out. Hope that makes sense. I can get to Screen1 but it still has the data_matrix filled out?
Hi Shane Many thanks for this, but one thing for me isn't working, how can I remove an entry in this Gallery, the remove function seems not working here :/ Thanks :)
Can the new Power Apps Barcode Reader be used on a Form in order to update records on a SharePoint List. I'm using the Barcode scanner to accomplish this at the moment.
Hi Shane, First thank you so much for your videos It helped me a lot, Question, I have a problem running the barcode reader on a handheld computer HTA11 (android) , do you know if it has some limitations?
Tks a lot
Was going to setup an App that has a barcode scanner so that my users can conduct an inventory on their warehouse. I would then integrate the PowerApp with Power BI so that I could monitor their progress using the Power BI report. Are there any things that I should be aware of?
Sounds like a great use case. Here are a couple of videos I did in that ballpark. And I have another one in the works. 😎

Scan and LookUp (used NFC but concept same) czcams.com/video/-JLgj9l25ok/video.html
Is it possible to scan a qr code and get all dati in form? just need 2023 codes
Hello I have a form (with data from a sharepoint)
the trouble with the scanner is the next one:
I tried to put
First(Barcodereader.Barcodes).Value on the DataCardValue "Default" but dont show the scanned Code and dont capture the data for my sharepoint
I used Barcode reader as an example, but when opened on an Android phone, it displayed 'Starting', which means the camera cannot be called
Great !! , I need yr help , I'm creating an App to Count stock and push scanned barcoded to SP , Barcodes scanned not triggered to SP , receiving error message "operation failed" Pls assist
What does the list look like that it spits out? I’m trying to get tillable fields to repeat and create a new line for every barcode that’s scanned..
Great Video as always, I think I'm close, I can scan and populate a Label, but when I scan to a gallery item, it does not populate with the scanned contents. I get a beep and it populates the Label as a test, but the Gallery item is blank. I put on the OnScan a Patch(ProductMapping, Gallery2.Selected, {PLots: First(BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value}); and Plots is a column in a Data source collection. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
Check that you are setting the Default value of the controls in your gallery. Common mistake. Hope it helps
Good morning Shane. Thank you for your very inspiring videos. I tried to rebuild a small scanner app using the barcode reader and at first run, I was able to see the camera view. Since the second run, my phone (iphone 12 pro max) only showed a black screen wih some symbols, still scanning codes, but not showing the view. I found a lot of similar questions in the Microsoft Platform community, but no solution. Do you have any hint for me?
I have not ran into that problem 🥲 Sorry, I got nothing. Did you try Hard Closing hte POwer Apps app on your phone? Any better
Shane can you use this to lookup existing records in dataverse or model driven apps?
Yes, I showed that best in this video. czcams.com/video/-JLgj9l25ok/video.html It is using the NFCScan function but same concept. You will put the LookUp code in the OnScan property of the barcode control.
As always very useful content and explained well thank you. Just an idea, Microsoft could add a Keyboard wedge mode to this scanner control as many companies and customers use USB/Bluetooth scanners, it will be very handy if this scanner control supports those out of the box.
Hey! Thank you for your video. How do you make that barcode required? there is not property for that.
You would need to build your own validation czcams.com/video/WlWT0lWTGU8/video.html
Hi I am newbie in this power platform.
I am trying to create a share point form by using power app.
I have a dropdown column name "pets"
Ex. Dog, hen, bird
I have another two column as "Animal food" and "Bird Food"
Now I want is that if I select Dog from "pets" dropdown list in power app then only "Animal Food" dropdown field will be visible.
Also when I select any option from "pets" drop down such as bird or hen then my " Bird Food" drop down field should be visible.
How to do this.
Hi Shane, Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if you have another video where you show how to get this functionality to existing datasource (sharepoint list), not a new vertical gallery. Thanks.
Stan I guess I need to make a video that goes that next step, you aren't the first person to ask. This video is an oldie but a goodie. It might help you with the concept. czcams.com/video/MclJ_O9HvJQ/video.html
Me too! I am really struggling trying to connect the app to a sharepoint list@@stanyu9420
Hello! thank you very much for the video. I have a problem with the scanner, when I put two scanners in two screens and I navegate with the next and back the second one dont works, or if I keep only the first one and push next, and then back, it also dont works... do you know what is happening? thank you very much for your videos
@@ShanesCows Hello! thank you for your answer. In this case the problem is more easy, if you have a app with 2 steps, in the first step scan and then go to the next step and go back again the bar code reader dont work again. The only solution is close and reopen it again. Did you found this bug? thank you very much for your videos and your answers
great lesson. I wonder how can I connect such barcode reader with excel file. f.e. after scanning the barcode the data from QR code will be transferred directly to existing excel file.
Likely using some kind of Microsoft Flow between PowerApps and Excel. I also wish he had done something with the barcodes such as showing how to edit an item based on barcode scan.
How would I be able to make a check in and check out feature out of this? for example the tech is checking out a keyboard for a user. how can he just simply scan a barcode and it will check it out?
Check out this video first. czcams.com/video/HTY8AnMz5rw/video.html Where I show a check in and out app. Then this video czcams.com/video/-JLgj9l25ok/video.html shows how I applied that concept using an NFC scanner. You would replace the NFC scanner with the barcode from this video and you would be set. 😎
Great demo. May I know what is maximum distance from where you can accurately scan the label with and without zoom. Is there a limit.?
I think it is just up to your camera/device vs. quality of the barcode. I don't think there is a specification, just how far away can it read what it sees.
very good info, i cant test as no license to publish. want to scan and then grab the details to then use in my search box... to try and work that out :s help
Hello, I work in automotive manufacturing, looking to use the barcode reader to scan the VIN of a car and then scan a given part that is installed on that car, I’d like the info to go into the same SharePoint item in separate columns “VIN” and “Part”
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
I have set up an app with 2 readers, 1 for each scan into a gallery with 2 text inputs.
Brian if you have the info populating into text boxes then you are very close. Now use Patch czcams.com/video/W8JjF2k0IQA/video.html to save the Text Inputs to SharePoint by pressing a Button control. 😎
How to save the scanned barcode information inside the app into a table. I want to export the scanned informations into D365 table, How to do that pls reply
Hello Shane, Barcode reader control in Power Apps not Select(), I want to trigger the barcode reader control through a button,Can or cannot? Thanks
First of all, thanks for the good videos.
I finally got the Barcode reader working.
How do I get it to retrieve information in a Sharepoint from the barcode
thanks in advance
Hi Shane, my camera doesnt seem to be working. Im met with a black screen within the app i have built. i can see the headers and torch function, however the screen not accessing the actual footage, please help?
Terrific video! One question .. is it possible to clear a line from my BarcodeReader1.Barcodes once I've submitted my scanned items?
I haven't tried. Maybe best thing would be put Barcodes into a collection and then you could edit the collection for sure. I feel like this topic needs another video, lots of great questions like this in the comments.
@@ShanesCows Is there something special that i need to do to save to a collection? When I try I get a message a 'Expected TEXT value" message in the field
Thanks Shane, great video ! How to send scan values and the user who took the scan to a sharepoint list ? Thank you for your help 🙂 !
Sorry to bother you, but i don't see how you can remove a scan when in multi-scan mode. Also if you leave screen and come back to it, i don't see how to reset the values from previous use. Ideas?
Great video as usual. But I see you have a 3.5" Floppy Drive behind your keyboard. Is that where you save your Apps? 😜
I wish that when I am teaching the kids about icons. They need to know that I didn't 3D print a save button. 😂
Hello,
How I can add new barcode reader to search bar (Text Input)? In old version barcode scanner I type "BarcodeScanner1" in TextInput on "Default" tab and all work fine. With new barcode reader i type "BarcodeReader1" or "BarcodeReader1.Barcodes" in "Default" and not working. I give error in TextInput "Text was expected".
How I can resolve this problem?
BarcodeReader1.Barcodes is a table. In a label you want to show a Record. Try this
Last(BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value 😎
This works a million times better than the old one and is great for sure... but... i got this to work perfectly on my s23 ultra but could not get it to work on our a7 lite or a zebra tc72. I need help Shane... any word on Device compatibility or limitations for resolution etc??? The old scanner works but not the new one.
This really is a sweet control though!!
Hey Aaron I haven’t gotten to test any scanner devices like that with it. 😑 Sorry I am no help.
How do you connect the output to a list? Thanks for the video!!
Once you have the data you can then save it. Most likely using Patch. This is an old video but probably the most basic when it comes to saving data other than using forms. czcams.com/video/MclJ_O9HvJQ/video.html
Can I scan the QR code (contain email) and save it in sharepoint list?
Use it for inventory management the scanned number goes to a List.
Still haven't sat down and added the item photograph to the bar code scan for the auditors.
Would you mind helping me. I have followed the steps but how can I push the gallery output into a list, in excel for example?
@@directorscompany379 Having the same issue here. Did you manage to find a result?
Record type may be useful. In some cases there are several different codes (types) placed close to each other.
Can I still use to fill a default text box like the old scanner
Yes. Set the input to be tied to a variable and have the scan update the variable
Also, if you put it next to a regular button, you will notice how offset it is. At the bottom and the right side has weird white pixels. This makes it a pain to align inside of containers.
I did notice it was a slightly weird size. I bet it is setup mostly as the new modern controls so hopefully when they roll out it fits with them.
Best video, Thank you, I ask something if scan to share point list how to guide.
Do you know why when using the new barcode reader, the output of the scan into a text box always contains the last scanned item? Every time i scan an item and submit, when i return back to the scan screen, the previously scanned item is still there! Love the new feature but having some issues with getting it to work the same as the barcode scanner :D
Josh what is your code for the Text box? Maybe try resetting the control? I typically store the value I want from the scanner in a variable so I can make decisions and clear it if needed.
Hi @@ShanesCows - thanks for responding! I have this on the OnScan: Set(glbVarScan, BarcodeReader1.Barcodes) and then this on the text box default: glbVarScan. New to using power apps so still learning :)
@@pullan11 BarcodeReader1.Barcodes returns a table of results. First( BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value returns the first record in the Table or Last( BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value would return the last. Try playing with those.
@@ShanesCows Ahh okay! I've given it another go but still can't seem to clear the text box. I've created an asset register, so when i scan a serial number and submit the item to the register, ideally the form should reset but the serial number from the last scanned item remains. Will keep trying :)
How do you validate barcode value? Issue: barcode label has 3 barcodes. One has length, one has weight and the one I want has the alpha numeric unique identifier formatted as “#### #### ####”. I don’t want the length or weight.
So will this Barcode Reader replace the existing Barcode Scanner, or will they both stay? I love the BEEP and VIBRATE on scan, that's very nice.
How do I clear/reset BarcodeReader1.Barcodes to clear the gallery
it does not work on my Oppo a54. Any idea?
how to reset the gallery sir if the items are from scan barcode?
How to integrate with Sharepoint List ?
Hello, first of all thanks for all of your content
By any chance. I do struggle for the following thing
I want to display a pop up to my user based on the barcode value after each scan. I need to use scanning mode : scan multiple as my users need to scan many barcode per hours. I dont want them to restart the barcode scanner (because its take 1 to 2 second)
I did set on change/on scan with
If(Last(BarcodeReader1.Barcodes).Value = "C30000058333B4520",Notify("The barcode starts with X123.",NotificationType.Error),Notify("yeees"))
but the pop up is only showed when I click on 'SUBMIT' meaning I need to leave the barcode mode to show the pop up
Is there any way to show a message to user while still in multiple scan mode?
Can you create a extension video where you show how to store the vertical gallery values to an excel sheet or share point list
I am noticing a theme 😎 I will work on a follow up video. In the meantime watch this video. It is old but the concepts are the same. Might give you the ideas you need to keep going. czcams.com/video/MclJ_O9HvJQ/video.html
I showed it to my son and now he is searching all things with barcode.. how do I make him stop?
Cool! Thank you. How to save to a file?
Usually I would say use patch to grab the data and save it. If you haven't used Patch this old video might be the best to give you a foundation. czcams.com/video/MclJ_O9HvJQ/video.html
Hope they will soon add NFC scanning
Greg we have had NFC for a while. 😊 czcams.com/video/-JLgj9l25ok/video.html
I thought NFC was limited by your hardware, just like most computer cameras can't scan bar codes.
@@MerkDolf NFC scanning is dependent on your device correct, but I think most modern phones support it these days.
Greg I went poking. The same NFCScan function can read HF-RFID. I don't know much about RFID if that helps or not?
how can i save the data to excel?
czcams.com/video/1rlPduDP_Ew/video.html I made a new video today that should help you.
The one thing I haven't seen anyone really address is hidden alt characters in a barcode, especially QR codes. I run into this alot in my industry field. They use end of file marker, end of line marker and carriage returns to get multiple lines of data in a QR code. This can really screw up your database if you don't strip that info out. With Excel it's easy, just use the CLEAN function. But with PowerApps there is no CLEAN function unfortunately.
Let's go with using logistic devices, rather than mobile phone
I have seen customers buy cheap iPods to use as cheap scanners with Power Apps. But there are definitely better, standalone options.
I’ve put a cycle counting PowerApp for a logistics company on Zebra scanners which are used in my client’s warehouses across the country.
Is it possible to make the barcode scanner recognise existing products?.. Like a bag of chips for example from the store.. And then show you on screen what the item is?.. If so, how's that possible? Is there a free database out there with free GTIN information for example that we can use to achieve the above?
Do you need to save the data? I made a follow up video? czcams.com/video/1rlPduDP_Ew/video.html
