Accessing your Power Apps Environment Variables

Environment Variables allow you to define values that can be changed between different environments. This is especially helpful when deploying a Solution between Dev, Testing, and Production environments. The Environment Variables serve as a configuration for the solution, which can vary across different environments. This is how we can access those variables from our canvas Power Apps.

Add an Environment Variable to your Solution

• Browse to your Solution.
• Select New > More > Environment Variable.
• Fill out the Panel with your details. For this example, I'm adding a simple text Data Type.

Add the variable to your Power App

• Edit your Canvas App.
• Open the Data panel and add the Environment Variable Definitions and the Environment Variable Values data sources.
• Add a text label to your screen.
• In the Text property of your label, update the Schema Name to the name of the variable you created (not the Display Name).

LookUp(
 'Environment Variable Values',
 'Environment Variable Definition'.'Schema Name' = "demo_DemoTextVariable",
 Value
)

• Your label should now display the value you added to the Environment Variable!
