How can I get a set of text inputs to stick to data table headers when a user scrolls to view other columns?

[aec2018]

I have a data table with enough columns that a user will need to scroll to view them all. A user should have the ability to filter each column so I've placed a filter icon and a text input to each column as such:

The problem is that when the user scrolls, these input texts and filter icons aren't attached in any way to the data table. So this happens:

The input boxes and filter icons are stationary. I can't connect the .X property of each input to the .X property of each column, unfortunately. At least, not in any way that I can see. A gallery table doesn't have native horizontal scrolling so I don't see how I can achieve this with that component, either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @aec2018 ,

The build-in horizontal scroll bar of the Data Table control could not affect any other controls or components. Therefore you will need a vertical Gallery, a Vertical Container with two Horizontal Containers one with those Text Input boxes and the other with Labels as headers, along with a Slider as the scroll bar for all the Containers and the Gallery:

Hi @v-jefferni ,

Thanks for your response. My gallery table will have 35-40 columns of data and I don't think vertical galleries support horizontal scrolling, correct? How will I be able to add 35 columns to a vertical gallery so that I can apply the scroll bar to it? Thanks.

Hi @aec2018 ,

Vertical galleries with a slider bar to horizontal scrolling is a quite common scenario in Power Apps.

Please refer to below blog with detailed steps:
