Hi,

I'm trying to create an app where the results from a form populate a word document. I'm running into a problem with the questions on the form that have multiple answers. I tried to use the solution posted here; Solved: Flow switch case from form with multiple choices - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com) , but it is not working. I need help getting the response from the questions with multiple answers to trigger multiple cases.

Hello @FLMike ,

I am trying to use the responses of a Microsoft form to populate a word document. I attached a picture of the flow below. The 4 switches to the right are working but the first one is different. The question associated with that switch is a multiple answer question. It's not working like the other switches are. I tried different methods, but I can't get it to work. Given the answer(s) chosen in the form, the switch is supposed to set the value of a string variable to a paragraph which populates a word template. I want the user to be able to click one or multiple choices for that question and the corresponding paragraph(s) should populate the word doc.

Hi @adwoghiren

Thank you for the picture, its actually an amazing picture, most of the time lol Ican't read them, yours is great thought.

So it looks like and Iam guessing here as you didn't mention it, that to try to solve your problem, you are generating a single string, by looping through the answers, and appending them together.

Then in your case, you are then trying to cover the scenarios?

So like if selected are

A

D

T

Y

You are making a

ADTY (Switch case) and doing something there?

And I am also guessing that the data you put in the Set Variable changes depending on combination of things they check as answers?

Is that all accurate?

Yes, that is correct. Every selected choice corresponds to a specific paragraph. The answer to the question, is the variable. The choices on the form decide which paragraph the variable value should be set to.

If the choices are
A
B
C
D

All 4 choices would populate their own paragraph, but if a combination of answers were selected then both or all the corresponding paragraphs would populate. For example, if choices A and C were selected then paragraph A + C would be set as the value for that variable, or if just D is selected than paragraph D would be set as the value to the variable.
