Open Excel spreadsheets in the Desktop app Launch('ms-word:ofe|u|' & ThisItem.'Link to item')Īnd now when I click on the label, my document is opened within the Word desktop app. So to make this work I configured the OnSelect of the file name label to use the following code. To open the Word app rather than Word online, all I have to do is add ms-word:ofe|u| to the url that I’m calling as mentioned in this post. So that is easier than other solutions that I’ve seen people use to make icons appear. With the above code the icons will be read from your SharePoint tenant.

Ok, before I continue, did you know that you can get the icons by using the following code? '' & Last(Split(ThisItem.'File name with extension','.')).Result & '.png' Launch(ThisItem.'Link to item')īut this will open in Word Online and many users would like to open documents in the desktop app instead. Now there is a property available ThisItem.’Link to item’ to open a document.

In my app I have created a gallery that displays the icons and the name of the documents. Open Excel spreadsheets in the Desktop app.
