Creating a Single Collection Using All Columns from Two SharePoint Lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to create a single collection using data from two SharePoint lists.

My two lists look something like this:

List 1: Metric Values

TitleMetricIDMTD ActualMTD TargetReporting MonthReporting FY
Metric A1.74.75723
Metric A1.77.75823
Metric B2.81.8723
Metric B2 .8.8823

List 2: Metric Attributes

Metric NameMetricIDDefinitionOwner (person field)Reporter
(person field)
Reporting Cadence
Metric A 1Definition AJohn SmithJane DoeMonthly
Metric B2Definition BAngela JonesAndy WoodsMonthly


I want to pull all records from List A where Reporting Month = VarMonth and Reporting FY= VarFY (two variables I have set onstart of the app), and the matching records using the MetricID from List B into one collection using the MetricID column as a unique Identifier. I need all of the columns from both lists to use that collection to display the Values and the Attributes in the same gallery and be able to filter the gallery using columns from both.
So the end Result would be something like this if Varmonth=7 and VarFY=23

TitleMetricIDMTD ActualMTD TargetReporting MonthReporting FYMetric NameDefinitionOwner (person field)Reporter
(person field)
Reporting Cadence
Metric A1.74.75723Metric ADefinition AJohn SmithJane DoeMonthly
Metric B2.81.8723Metric BDefinition BAngela JonesAndy WoodsMonthly

I've seen several questions like this all with different solutions but can't seem to get any of them to work for me.

Thank you!

    Hi @__1 ,

    Try this structure for a start

    ClearCollect(

     AddColumns(
     'Metric Values',
     "Definition",
     LookUp(
     'Metric Attributes',
     'Metric Name' = Title
     ).Definition,
     "Owner",
     LookUp(
     'Metric Attributes',
     'Metric Name' = Title
     ).Owner.DisplayName,
     "Reporter",
     LookUp(
     'Metric Attributes',
     'Metric Name' = Title
     ).Reporter.DisplayName,
     "ReportingCadence",
     LookUp(
