Summary
The Power Apps INDEX function returns a row from a table by specifying the row number. For example, we could get the 2nd row of a table by supplying the table name and the number 2.
Syntax
| Index(Table, Index) |
Arguments
| Name | Required? | Description |
| Table | Yes | A table of values. |
| Index | Yes | The row number in the table to be returned. Top row is 1, the next row is 2, then 3, etc. |
Examples
The Customers table contains the following names, addresses and cities.
| Full Name | Address | City |
| Matthew Devaney | 115 Main Street | Winnipeg |
| Sarah Green | 45 Henderson Highway | Brandon |
| Kelly Smith | 34 Portage Avenue | Steinbach |
| David Johnson | 10 Commerce Drive | Kenora |
To get the 2nd row of the table we can write an INDEX function like this:
Index(Customers, 2)
The result is:
| Full Name | Address | City |
| Sarah Green | 45 Henderson Highway | Brandon |
We can also use the Power Apps INDEX function to get a value from a specific row of the table. To get the Full Name from the 2nd row we can write this code.
Index(Customers, 2).'Full Name'
The result is:

Thanks for your article. When I do the same, it won’t work.
I try to do it from a datatable, created from a collection with this formula : Index(DataTable1;1).relevé
If i use a galery in the same context, with this formula : Index(Gallery5.AllItems;1).Relevé = it works ?
Why such an issue with a table versus a galery ?
Thanks in advance
Sevellec,
Power Apps has 2 different syntaxs. The English syntax uses a comma [,] to separate arguments whereas the French syntax uses [;]. Here is a link to the documentation for syntax differences: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/global-apps#formula-separators-and-chaining-operator
I do not like that Power Apps works in this way. Having 1 consistent syntax would benefit the platform greatly.
