How to display the values of a multi-select Choice column in a gallery in Power Apps?

Posted on by CU04061752-0

I'm developing a Power Apps application connected to a SharePoint list called ‘PROYECTOS’. This list has a column named SUB_PROYECTOS, which is a Choice column with multiple selections enabled, and the available options are:

SubProyecto01
SubProyecto02
SubProyecto03
SubProyecto04

There is also another column called NOM_PROYECTO that stores the name of the project.

I have a dropdown control (Dropdown1) that lets the user select a project. Below that, I have a gallery where I want to display the selected subprojects (multi-choice values) corresponding to the selected project.

I tried using ThisItem.SUB_PROYECTOS inside the gallery, but it throws an error, since the column returns an array (a table of records).

What would be the best way to filter and display the individual values of a multi-select Choice column in a gallery, based on the project selected in the dropdown?

Thanks in advance for your help!

@CU04061752-0 Hi,

Assume that your list doesn't have duplication of NOM_PROYECTO

Dropdown1,Item=Distinct(PROYECTOS, NOM_PROYECTO),

Gallery1, Item=

First( Filter( PROYECTOS, NOM_PROYECTO= Dropdown1.Selected.Value ) ).SUB_PROYECTOS

The Title of the Gallery1, Text = ThisItem.Value

Hi @stampcoin

First of all, thank you very much for your clear and helpful response — it worked perfectly for my scenario! 🙌

I’d like to kindly ask a follow-up question based on your example using the SharePoint list PROYECTOS. In addition to the SUB_PROYECTOS column (which is of type Choice and allows multiple selections), my list also includes the following columns:

PROYECTO01_DETAILS, PROYECTO02_DETAILS, PROYECTO03_DETAILS, PROYECTO04_DETAILS (text type)

PROYECTO01_ADVANCE, PROYECTO02_ADVANCE, PROYECTO03_ADVANCE, PROYECTO04_ADVANCE (number type or percentage)

I’d like to know if it’s possible to show this data within Gallery1 with a layout like this:

PROYECTO 01 PROYECTO 02 PROYECTO 03 PROYECTO 04

Detail 01 Detail 02 Detail 03 Detail 04

Advance 01 Advance 02 Advance 03 Advance 04

Basically, I’d like to display two more Labels under each "Project" header inside the gallery, retrieving values from the other columns of the same selected project.

Would this kind of layout be achievable within a single gallery or would you recommend using a nested container or another layout strategy?

Thanks again for your valuable time and support!

Best regards,

@CU04061752-0 Hi,

You may consider using horizontal gallery rather than Vertical gallery.

We are kind of out of this topic scope. 😉
