Repeating tables in PowerApps

I guess that's not what Sreeni is looking for. Laura article is about displaying data from 2 SharePoint lists. What Infopath was used to be able to do was to create an entry form for users to input data on a repeating tabet. For example in a plane tickets booking scenario where the user enters first name, last name and age of 'person 1' and then clicks on a + button to add another passenger : the 3 Input fields first name, last name and age are then repeated do user can add a second passenger details. The data was stored in the same SharePoint list with no data binding to a SharePoint column but to an XML file dealt by Infopath.

I'malso looking for such a solution 😁

Cedric Oster,

 

I was able to find a solution for this in PowerApps. It may not work exactly like Infopath but it is possible. If you'd like to know, I'd be happy to help via PM. Thanks.

      vijendra kondeti,

       

      You will have to add a gallery control and the Items property of the control will need to be set to display the items. The gallery will have to be designed to have the fields that you want in the repeating table.The items can be a collection object in PowerApps and the collection will need to be patched/saved up to the data source.
