Hi all,

Having trouble with creating a button in PowerApps where when a user clicks it downloads an Excel file (currently located in a SharePoint folder) to a user's local computer file.

Here is my current function:

Download("Excelfilelocation?download=1")
 
The goal here is to write a function where when a button is selected it download the file straight to the users local file.

Hi @AC-31122111-0,

Assuming you have the file in a SharePoint Library and are displaying the files in a Gallery, put a button/icon in the Gallery and using your Domain and Library names.

Download($"https://YourDomainName.sharepoint.com/YourLibraryName/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=https://YourDomainName.sharepoint.com/YourLibraryName/" & ThisItem.'Full Path')

The file should go into the Downloads folder of the user.
