Is there not a view defined behind the presentation in the PowerApps?
If there is, can you not filter on Assigned To equal [Me]?
Kind regards, John

Great question John. I don't know if  there is a view defined behind the presentation in the PowerApps. If there is I could certainly configure it to show only the items  assigned to the user.

 

Is there a view defined behind the presentation in the PowerApps? If so, how do i specify the view to use?

 

 

btw, the computer im using to try this out has windows 7, so i can only use the web ui... no Powerapps desktop.

I found that the powerapps has an option to filter the data, but has no example to provide (just started last week :) Check out this PowerApps reference for Filter ... hope that helps you on the way.

Give it a shot with something like this... for a Gallery 

 

ShowColumns(Filter(Complaints,User().Email=AssignedToTxt), "Store","PowerappsCompStatus","Complaint_x0020_Source")

 

I had to copy the SP list data to a single line of text column, then filter and compare and call the 3 columns I wanted. Hope this helps...
