Thanks Reza. You've answered my question 100% about having access to the extra data related to the search items. (Just like the old "Access" days) . Concatenating extra information is a real bonus.

There is a handy feature the combobox provides when you want to have a tiny "preview" of text in a gallery and have limited space. If you set the combobox to View mode. Then Set it's defaultselecteditems to If the length of the text/entry is longer than the width of the combobox, it'll shorten it and do a "...More", which you can click and it'll provide a popout of all the text.

I use it for an issue tracking card. It'll show the first bit of the issue, if the issue is long, you can click "More" and it'll show all the issue text.

[josbar]

Brilliant as usual, your content helps beginners in a big way.

[siddharthgoutam]

Hi Reza, Hope everything is going awesome with you, I have one question is there a way to present SharePoint View in PowerApps Gallery as we can create multiple SharePoint views on large data set. If there is any way then it will make using PowerApps much easier for large dataset. If there are ways then I would love if you can enlighten us with your amazing demonstration and guidance.

[paolovr]

thanks amazing, easy and very clear lesson.

[puterimawarshazleen]

i just wanna ask, is it possible the combo box can put 7 to 8 selected item without it showing "7 items" ? means, I want it to show all the name that i have selected

[ericdvoracek]

Thank you very much for the video, it was very helpful. One question, how do you allow users to enter in their own answer if it is not in the list (SharePoint linked). thank you

[Nick-giyl]

Thank you so much for this video Reza. To filter office365 users, how can we filter based on userType: Guest or Member?
