Each time I try to do something new (to me) I can always count on you to have tackled the problem already. Thank you Shane for sharing and for making me look like I know what I'm doing.
Thanks for another great video! One problem I have run into with the Remove function is that it is pretty much impossible to use it in a For All loop (boo!!! ☹) because it does not like "ThisRecord.". Not the end of the world, but it would be nice! Also, I usually make my popups by using a container. It's nice because then you can control the visibility just with the container and it works great as a parent. I have been container obsessed as soon as I saw them show up in the controls lol.
Thank you Shane - this is awesome. I need to bring in a spo list based on lookup to ref ID of parent record, into a collection and then mess w that collection (edit, add, delete existing) and patch the collection back to the list to replace existing 😮. Based on this and other records I’m thinking of just having 2 separate galleries - update database and new items.
Nice video Shane. Hovever, when I delete child parent and child items, I always start with deleting the child items, and in the end the parent item. I have not experienced problems with this, but your idea with the confirmation box is awesome, so I think I am going to rebuild my delete function ;). Have a great day, and thx for the great tips
Great video, although remove('listname') didn't work for me. had to use Remove('listname", Lookup('listname', title = "specific_item"). but all in all your video steered me in the right direction..it just took a little more. Good job as always Shane.
I wouldn't recommend using RemoveIf function because it does not work if you have more than 3000 items on a SharePoint list. The function fetches first 3000 items and then remove from those fetched items. Let's say you have 4000 items on the list and you're trying to remove the 3005th item with RemoveIf, it will not work because that specific record was not fetched by RemoveIf. Instead, you should fetch with the Filter function, put that into a collection in PowerApp and use ForAll to remove. That way you can be sure that these items will be removed from the SharePoint list.
Love your help!!! I am trying to set a combo to Blank/Null when a certain value is selected in another combo. Can you please provide a clue on how to do this. Thanks
Set the DefaultSelectedItems for the ComboBox to a variable. On change of the other combo box set the variable to blank and reset t the first combo box. :)
Thank you very much for showing an awesome video for deletion in Canvas apps. I've a query. I've two lists in SharePoint. One holds current list and another is Archive list. When in my Canvas app, I clicked on my Archive button, it immediately transfer data from current list to archive list. I want to undo it. What is the way I can make an undo in canvas app or any other solution that will store a temporary archive list before moving to archive from current one but on click it will back again in the current list? Please let me know your suggestion.....

Shane, Great channel! I am a new Sharepoint user, and have been tasked with creating a corporate intranet site. One of the requests is a Classified Ads type list. I am attempting to create a Power App, using a Sharepoint list. I was looking through all of your videos, but thought I would ask.. have you ever tackled anything like that in another video? Am I headed down the right path? Thanks in advance! - Marty

Hi, Sir. I have made a service desk app from already given template using sharepoint... Problem is that i have to add and delete some items from sharepoint so that it suits my needs but I am pretty confused about how to add or delete items in sharepoint datasource so that it gets reflected in service desk powerapps... I can easily add or remove entry from sharepoint but it is not getting reflected in service desk app.. I need your guidance.. Thank you.
Hey Shane Great Video thanks for it. I have one question on confirm box if we Click on the delete button only data should remove . have you tried to click outside of confirm box. Scenario click delete icon on the gallery confirm box will pop up click outside on anywhere from confirm box on Rectangle its deletes data with out pressed button its removing the value.
Hi Shane. Thanks for all these videos! My company asked me to make some flows but still insists on using Infopath for now. I have lookup lists but can't use them across multiple collections. So I am trying to make a flow that will copy/update/delete those items to the other sites where they serve as lookups. Not sure that's the smartest way, but I can't use power apps yet. Do you know if there is an easy way to Delete an item from a duplicate list, when we delete it from the primary list? Thanks!
CDS or Datavers user interface? With Microsoft SQL Management Studio I can display data (I cannot change tables or data records) Are there any tools for creating tables, views, etc, ... and for manipulating data? Thank you
Thanks Shane Young for the content, it is spectacular I have a problem and that is that when I execute this action it does not delete the record, the message I receive in the formula is "ThisItem = this formula uses the scope, which is not currently supported for evaluation "Thank you very much for your help, greetings from Colombia
Great video at the right time! I was just looking for a solution how to delete items and subitems. But one remark: Could you please speak not so fast :-). As a non-native speaker it is sometimes very hard for me to follow your explanations
On question: Are there different versions of PowerApps? I am working in Germany with PowerApps and I copied your formulas. But everywhere where you enter a comma I have to enter a semicolon, and everywhere where you separate two formulas with a semicolon I have to enter two semicolons!?!?
@@jetys100 Hello Jürgen, That's not because of different versions, it is because of the "programming language" or system language. You will get used to it ;-)
great video! I'm having an issue with my trash can icon in a gallery. When I do "Remove(Collection, ThisItem)" it deletes the previous row??? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for a great video. Definitely will subscribe. I've run into an odd issue with the Removeif command though. My delete button is simply supposed to remove items from my list that have a Date less than the Date I supply in a date picker. Works a charm unless there are more than 62 items that fit that criteria. If there are even 63 items that are within the date span, 62 will be deleted and 1 will be left. Any idea what could be causing that?
Your collection doesn't have a primary key so it gets confused and just removes whatever it wants. :( You need a field like row number so you can look up that record to delete. :(
How can i remove if the item in gallery is equal to zero. My code is remove(product,if(prod-prod2=0,gallery.selected))... i need to patch update the new data in another sheet. And remove the item if it is equal to zero
Hi Shane, i was using Lookup within Remove function to remove child records, but its only removing first child record not all of it, i was wondering if i should use ForAll function as well, but how, if you can help. Thank you
@@ShanesCows so initially i was using RemoveIf, it didnt work, then i used Lookup, and its only removing first record. is there a way to loop through my list and find all the records with matching id. and then remove. Thank you for the quick response.
Hi Shane, i try to remove the whole Data from a Colum but i don`t want to drop the Colum and i dont want to remove the whole table. Do you have an Idea?
Hi Shane, Thank you for the great content! About your code at 13:40, the remove part alone works fine, but when I put a semicolon and the second part where you setup the variable, it doesn't work anymore and I get the following message "This formula has side effects and cannot be evaluated". I can't figure out what am I doing wrong ...
Is it possible you are in a region that use a comma for the decimal separator? If that case when I use a , you need to use a ; and when I use a ; you need to use a ;;

Why rectangle for popup? Isnt better to use container? More control and better easier and quicker to arrange...
Yes. They weren’t really commonly used when I made this video. They are now.

Hey Shane. Thanks for your video. I am trying to use same formula(Remove(My_Source_Data,Gallery2.Selected)) in PowerApps, but I am getting an error (Incompatible Type.The collection can't contain values of this type).
The items property of the Gallery needs to be the same as the table you are trying to remove from. That is my guess of your issue.
Hi Shane, Thanks for this video. I have a similar issue. The Items property of my gallery has a filter function for my search box. what could be done here?

This is helpful for deleting from the gallery, but it doesn't like the code for removing a list item from my data source.
Remove(datasource, record) will delete from the data source. Make sure datasource is the actual datasource not a collection
record is getting deleted from the database but not from ui any better suggestion for this
