Thank you so much. This has been invaluable in getting me started. Had a fairly urgent project assigned to me, so learning Power Apps from zero in a hurry. This video has jumped me along the right path by *weeks*. Appreciate your time in making it, and have subbed. Great work, many thanks.

This video is super helpful. Thank you Shane for doing what you do (and the way you do it!)

[chrisbani]

Thank you so much for this Shane. I have been trying to do this for months. (I'm just an Accountant by the way)

[angelmingkem]

a straight forward video... love it. Thank you Shane.

This was great, thank you! Is there a way to see the history of each time a barcode was changed - and what information was changed? I haven't started using Power Apps yet, but this gave me some great ideas to start. Now doing a deep dive on the channel lol

[spen]

A few more gems in there (even if I don't have a use case for the barcode reader). Thanks as always Shane 💥💥💥💥

[BlaineAllmond-broq]

This was great, and exactly the help I needed. Do you have any idea what features require a premium license? I have made a much more complicated app and my users didnt need a premium license, so its strange.

Hello, I need to field a text input field in a form with the id's scanned by the Barcode. But I can't seem to make it work. I've tryed other similar videos but either the variable or the collection dosen't work when I copy the exact same code. And I don't undersantd the erros

[chrisbani]

Hi Shane. When is the next office hours? Have a few questions regarding this APP

[joseantoniocalabuiggonzale]

Very good video, congratulations Shane, as always, but, does PowerApps have any functions planned for RFID, by radio frequency, which is the technology that medium and large companies are using???

[thetimcast]

I love this app, I have a silly question though! Is there a way to edit the asset after it's been saved without having to scan the barcode again?

[orogin]

Thanks, for this. I made a complete inventory app connected to an Excel table like this. Although, I have one issue I can't seem to fix. The records update fine after scanning and adjusting. But when I scan the same code again directly after the edit. It returns the old values. I have no idea how to fix this. Would you have an idea how to fix this?

Hi Shane! have you had any problems for the barcode scanner not working in ios? Have one setup and working great in android and window(default values) but ios isnt working and leaves the barcode field blank.

[taylorhouse]

This is great Shane, is there a way to add scanning product and a lot number at the same time

[ichdu]

Is it possible to view IFC-File (Industrie Foundation Class ) in power App ? Thx for your Great content 👍

[zurahk]

is there a way to allow like multiple items to go under 1 number (even if i select that number) and it gets like a decimal point like 123.1, 123.2, 123.3 ?

[yaboahere]

does anyone else get an error when programming the arrow up and down icons? I've been following the video to a T and have my sharepoint set up with corresponding fields but for some reason the following forms. don't work... any help would be greatly appreciated
Set(varQty, varQty + 1);
Set(varQty, varQty - 1);

[LineageRagnarok]

can it be scanned and then viewed online from the pc to make the sale?

[itsMattaTV]

Nice video! I did as shown and can't get the spinner to show.

[princedjll]

Hi Shane, when i try to update the image. It won't work with the code you provided in Update Asset, why? Variables like VarQuantity does work.
