[AdhamFH]

Hello,

i want to update my datasource, im using excel as my datasource and i store it in my onedrive, is it possible to update it using button in powerapps? the idea is when i click the button it will shows file explorer and then i choose the file and my datasource will be updated. anyone knows how to do it?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, PowerApps does not have the ability to use File Explorer.  You must connect to the datasource while building the app.  This means it is not possible to simply browse to the datasource and update without first defining it in Studio Mode.

Hi @AdhamFH ,

Currently, to manage data sources of an app, you have to be in design mode of PowerApps. You cannot change the data source information while playing the app.
