Power Apps – Canvas App. Gallery Control Feature does not allow us to scroll in both side. Manually make use of the Slider control, this feature is achieved
Problem statement
In Canvas App, when we have table of records to be displayed to the user for processing, Gallery Control Can be used which can be scrolled either Horizontal or Vertical way.
As a alternate solution we can go for a data table for both side scrolling, but the drawback here is that we cannot select more than one record for processing as it is a read only control.
Resolution
To Scroll the data in both way and also to select the multiple records for processing, Gallery Control Can be used with Slider Control.
Data in the gallery is adjusted based on slider control value
