Hi , Can you Please tell me , How to Use this same technique , When a gallery and form are in a different Screen.

[@PragmaticWorks]

Hi there, you'll just need to add a Navigation in front of the Select code and you're ready to rock! - Brian

Hello! Please kindly help me. I would like from a data table (DataTable1), select a row from the gallery (gallery1) corresponding to the row of data to select on my table knowing that I am using the same sharepoint list which points to the two elements which are on different screens. I've been stuck for several days.

[@PragmaticWorks]

You would do a Filter command to connect those two table. So something like in Gallery2 Filter(DataTable2, YourPrimaryKeyColumn = Gallery1.Selected.ForeignKeyColumn)

How do you do this if you are not using a form, but patch? There is no OnSuccess.

[@PragmaticWorks]

If you're using a Patch, you would just have to place your variable setting around the patch syntax and then do an IfEmpty check to ensure it received a value.

Couldn’t get the code right

[@nivekkled]

Slick!

[@gkbradshaw]

I'm not sure why yet, but this didn't work for me.

[@jmusoke]

Me too! And yet my galery has only one item. I get the error: "Row or column passed to the Select function is outside the bounds of the gallery items."
