Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

Create a new canvas phone layout Power Apps app.  Save this as Skyscrapers.

Add a table to the workbook in the above folder and copy it to OneDrive or DropBox if necessary.  In your app add this as a data source.

The skyscrapers data source

You should now have a data source - the next task is to display the records from this in a gallery.

 

Now add a gallery to the default screen of your app:

Adding blank gallery

To make life a bit more interesting, choose a blank gallery.

 

Set the gallery's data source to show only films whose height is 400 metres or more:

Filter expression

Note the Value function to convert the height into a number before testing it.

 

Add a title above your gallery (and labels, text boxes and formatting to the gallery) to get something like this:

Power Apps form

In this example the Fill property of the gallery is set to dark green, and the TemplateFill property is set to a light green.

 

Create a second screen and attach a Navigate command to the gallery's OnSelect action to show the name of the building your user clicks on in a separate screen:

Selection screen

The second screen should display details of the skyscraper chosen, and have a button allowing a user to go back and choose a different one.

 

Test that your app works (and looks nice), then close it down, saving your changes.
