Hello, i'm new to power apps and am trying to set my form to show data for whomever the current user is.

I start by declaring a variable on start Set(varUserName, User().Fullname);

and the filter i am using for my form is. Filter('New Hire Data', 'New Hire Data'.Name = varUserName.

When i run my app i get no items to display, even though i have my self entered into the sharepoint list that this is connecting to. any idea what i could be doing wrong here?

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
You are missing a bracket at the end of the Filter :biggrin: , but that's not the problem

I am no expert in PowerAppS, but my guess may be that the Names could be in different format, the User().FullName would give say "Bill Gates", be sure the Name column in "NewHireData" does not give "Gates, Bill", that's probably the first thing to check, if that piece is consistent, the filter should be fine
