    As Tom said, test it in the environment where you created the app.

    But, something about the question doesn't quite add up.

    "I made tables in power apps..."

    PowerApps itself does not have tables. PowerApps is a low-code interface through which you interact with data in tables linked to the PowerApps app. Those tables can be any one of literally dozens of sources, from SharePoint lists to Dataverse tables to SQL Server or Oracle or MySQL and many others.

    Of those possibilities, the closest thing to what you describe would be Dataverse tables, followed by SharePoint tables.

    Please explain exactly what tables you have and where you created them.

    I would first test it in the PowerApps environment, at https://make.powerapps.com/
