How To Create A Header In PowerApps Blank Gallery

Overview

In this article, we will learn how we can easily create a header in the PowerApps Grid View. In my previous article, we created the Grid View with the help of Blank Gallery control in PowerApps.

There are different ways to create a header:

You can use different controls like label or textbox and set them as a column header of the Grid.
You can use the Data table to create a column header.

If you use the controls like textbox or labels, then it will take some more time in designing. The reason is we need to set the height, width, and formatting for each control.

On the Screen’s OnVisible Action, write the below line of code.

Collect(Header, {
Title: "",

To check it, Go to View, and click on Collection.

Step 3

Click on the Insert menu, and add DataTable.

Step 4

Add the data source in the created DataTable.

Select “Header”.

Step 5

From “Fields” properties, select the required columns and arrange them by dragging and dropping.

After arranging the fields, the DataTable will be set as a Header of the Grid column.
