Gallery Selected, how do I save one item from gallery selected into a variable, allowed to be used elsewhere in app

[Anonymous]

Hello, 
    I built a database search in powerapps, and after I enter the detailed screen from selecting a part how do I save just one item of that part row, so I can use it elsewhere in application, and reference back to it? I'm using the default search database application right now.

When a gallery item is selected, regardless of what is displayed in the gallery, the entire record is selected and any field in the record can be referenced from anywhere in the app.  ie. Gallery1.Selected.fieldname.  It is not usually necessary to create a variable although you can by using the OnSelect property of the gallery or an icon in the selected item and use the Set(varRecord,ThisItem) and then in other parts of the app, use varRecord.fieldname  to specify various fields from the selected record.
