Galleries in Power Apps are controls used to display multiple records of data from various data sources like Excel, SQL tables, or SharePoint lists. They allow for dynamic data interaction, making them a powerful feature for application developers.

Getting Started with Galleries

1. Navigate to the Insert ribbon and select a Vertical Gallery.
2. Connect the gallery to a data source, such as a SharePoint list or SQL table.
3. Adjust the size and location of the gallery for better alignment within your app.

Gallery Components

• Template Cell: The template for individual records. Modifications here affect all records displayed in the gallery.
