How to reference currentUser.Email

[morry329]

Sorry I just realised I landed a wrong forum (this is for Power Automate). But I will detail my issue with Power Apps anyway. 

I watched this Power Apps tutorial where a desk booking system has been created https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zroxwXpVhHI 

And I would like to get help from you all : I wanted to replicate the function where the first two appointments are displayed. 

I just handcoded the source code from the tutorial like in the screenshot, but it flags an error at currentUser.Email. The tutorial says that she created a global variable currentUser somewhere on the app that contains email data. I tried to create a global variable called currentUser under the App on the Tree View (the one just beneath the create new screen). But I was not able to reference the Email which this formula in the screenshot needs. Does anyone have some idea how to fix this?

Hi @morry329 

You need to use Set function to declare the global variable that contains current user object:

Set(currentUser,User());

You could refer this variable later in the app as shown below:

Filter('Action Tracker','Created By'.Email = currentUser.Email)

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Unfortunately my app is still getting the error "Behavior function in a non-behavior property. You can't use this property to change values elsewhere in the app (as per screenshot below)". Where did you place your Set(currentUser,User())? Items? Onselect of your Gallery?
