I need your support and hope you can help me. I want to build a PowerApp with a SharePoint list. The Power App is intended to display an evaluation form. The rating should be graded in the columns “—“ “-“ “+” “++”. The lines list 15 different categories that should be evaluated. The evaluation should be done with a checkbox, meaning the evaluation that applies is marked with a tick in the checkbox. Filling out the categories should be done per user, which means I want to have an overview page in which reviews that have already been filled out are displayed with a new button to create another user. I hope you can help me with that. If further information is required, please let us know.
For example, the form should look like this:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Oh nice!
Your first screen looks fine, and I can see that you ran into an error on the second screen. This might be due to the fact that you are using a lookup column in your User Gradings table to connect to the User table. PowerApps is not very fond of lookup columns I believe. Could you in stead create a simple number column and enter the number 1 there ?
And did you use the
ClearCollect(colEvaluation,Filter('User Gradings',UserID=DataTable1.Selected.ID));
to create the colEvaluation that you are showing in the items property of the Gallery? You could select the word colEvaluation in the Formula bar to check the actual contents of that collection.
And maybe check the exact errror that you are getting in the Gallery
Am I right in guessing that you didn't start yet? 🙂
I would start if i were you with creating two SharePoint lists, one with the names of users, in which you show the standard ID column. This is to automatically create user ID's for any or a new user.
After this you create a list that is exactly as your above screenshot, with one addition, a column with UserID that is filled with 1 for your first user. I would use Choices columns so that you can pre-define what needs to be filled in per column.
After this you can create a PowerApp with 2 screens as you mentioned, and connect it to the 2 SharePoint lists.
In your first screen you will have a Datatable showing the users, and a button for selecting a single user and going to the next screen. (we'll get back to adding new users later).
The button would act with the OnSelect property like this:
ClearCollect(colEvaluation,Filter('User Gradings',UserID=DataTable1.Selected.ID));
Navigate(Screen2)
So what it does is it creates a collection to work with for your selected user, and go to the next screen.
Now on the second screen I would add a Blank Vertical gallery with the colEvaluation as your Items, and create something like this:
So you use text labels for your row (inside de gallery) and column (outside the gallery) headers, and add dropdowns to let the user choose gradings. The Items property of your Dropdown can be filled with the choices you preselected for your columns in the SharePoint list. e.g. I called SharePoint table 'User Gradings' and the first column A and then I can reuse the choices with this code in the Items property:
Choices('User Gradings'.A)
ThisItem.A.Value
Many thanks for your response.
But I have already tried several attempts, unfortunately I couldn't find a solution.
I'll show you my Power Apps with screenshots so you can get an insight into where I'm stuck.
I always encountered the following problems:
1. The rating categories are not displayed to me.
2. If a new user is now created, all rating categories must be displayed.
3. The selection should be made using checkboxes.
In addition, I would later like to be able to address the checkboxes for each category using Power Automate so that I can transfer them to a Word form using Adobe PDF Services.
I hope you can help me.

Thank you for the code, I implemented the code accordingly.
Now when I click on a user I get the corresponding filtering.
How does it work that I create new users and the corresponding categories are displayed so that they only have to be filled out. In addition, I would later like to be able to address the checkboxes for each category using Power Automate so that I can transfer them to a Word form using Adobe PDF Services.
If you need a screenshot, please let me know.
You already had a button for creating a new user did you? I guess that is what I see with the +Neu in your first screen
What you would need to do is to copy all rows of one user in the Evaluation list to a new set of rows for the new user.
After adding the new user with your +Neu button, you would need to do this to copy a new set of rows to your Evaluation list:
ClearCollect(colNewEval,ShowColumns(Filter(Evaluations,UserID=1),"Title","UserID"));
UpdateIf(colNewEval,UserID=1,{UserID:NewUserID});
ForAll(colNewEval,
Patch(Evaluations,Defaults(Evaluations),ThisRecord))
Enjoy!
Please like the reply and/or accept it as the solution if the answer is what you were looking for.
Thank you for the feedback. Ok, I have to correct myself, I can successfully create the user using the New button in the Users list. It also successfully copies the UserID as often as the user with ID=1 has the lines. Unfortunately it doesn't fill these "category" lines. I can't add the "category" to the formula either because then I'll run into an error. The Category column is a selection field.
SharePoint List "User"
SharePoint List "User Grading"
Power App New Button
The error says that the specified column does not exist.
OnSelect
ClearCollect(colNewEval;ShowColumns(Filter('User Gradings';'UserID'=1);"UserID"));;
UpdateIf(colNewEval;'UserID'=1;{UserID:3});;
ForAll(colNewEval;
Patch('User Gradings';Defaults('User Gradings');ThisRecord))
Currently I have added the NewUserID manually. Can I also store this dynamically with a variable when the user is created? I hope you can help me.
Ah, nice! The nitty-gritty details!
1. About the 'category' column that is not recognised:
I ran in to that sometimes. 9 out of 10 times this is because you renamed the column after first creating it. So if you rename a column, only the 'displayname' of that column is changed. If you check the column settings in SharePoint, in the URL you will find the original column name that you can refer to. Here for example I renamed a column named 'Recipient' to 'BlaBla':
2. About using the variable when the user is created:
You have that data here, so you can connect to the values of either of these 2:
Don't forget to add Value() to your text, if UserID is a number column in your "User Grading" table...
Please like the reply and/or accept it as the solution if the answer is what you were looking for.
Many thanks for the support. 😊
Hello @RogierE,
In the galleries with the checkboxes I have the problem that if I check the checkbox it is not saved. I hope you can help me.
gallery checkbox OnCheck property: false; OnUnCheck property: false
