Need help with setting up gallery

[lmahmuti]

Hello All,

I am trying to create a gallery in PowerApps. I have an excel with 4 columns as per below.

I want to add this list in SharePoint first and then link it to PowerApps gallery. All is simple except the image does not get transferred.  Is there a way to ensure that the image transfers as well? I think I may have to copy these images to separate folder and link them with url in order to do this (add the url to the excel or sharepoint) but if there is an easier way let me know. 

Regards,

Labinot

Either you upload the images in the library or add them as attachments for each item.

My issue is that I've been given this file that has over 800 images. Thus, I am looking for a quicker way if even possible

You should be able to display those in PowerApps as well.

Take a look at this post where I assisted with the same issue.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi Randy,

Appreciate the feedback! In the example you provided the pictures are on a separate OneDrive. In the excel I was given there are objects (pics) in the excel itself (800 images). I do not think there is a way but thought in case there is a way for SharePoint to read those objects as images or within excel to figure out a way to quickly convert the objects into links.

I think this may be an impossible task unless I copy all the images into a separate folder (not sure yet how) and then create links to those images (similar to your instruction).  I am looking for a quick solution since there are too many images.

Yes, I understand.  The images are embedded in the file.  That is painful as I'm not entirely sure that either PowerApps or Automate will be able to get those directly.

You can get all of the images from the file though - if you save a copy of your excel file and change the extension to .zip and then extract it, there will be a media folder in one of the subfolders that will contain the pictures.

But, linking them to the rows that they go with would still be a challenge.

Thank you @RandyHayes! I will give it a try.
