Power Apps more than two levels filtering sharepoint

Posted on by JoJu

I am building canvas Power App with Sharepoint as a data base. It is employee data with hierarchical structure based on manager personal ID. Hierarchy can be up to 6 levels. List has column "Approved". Data in the Power App is personalised and manager can see only organisation under him.

I need to be able to count how many employees are approved in the manager organisation. So if manager have five levels under him, I need to loop through all those 5 levels and check if value of the column approved is "Yes".

I can easily do it with two levels down by using nested galleries, but since power apps do not support more than two levels, I'm hitting a wall here.

Anyone had worked on something similar and could guide on how to achieve what I need?

Hi @JoJu ,

Probably it's easiest to add further columns to your SharePoint list for the Level 1 manager, Level 2 manager, Level 3 manager, etc. You can then leverage this to apply a filter directly to the relevant column.

Thank you for your answer! I was thinking about the same, but still can not wrap my head around on how the function should be. I have create an example data dump, would you be able to help me to create function based on this?

Hi @JoJu ,

I meant to have 5 new columns (level 1-5 manager) where the full path is recorded per employee. As I'm typing on a phone now I can't add a table to show, but it would contain the below info for example 12373 :

Level 1: 12345

Level 2: 12346

Level 3: 12355

Level 4: 12366

Level 5: 12371
