Unable to GroupBy with Sharepoint List field set to Persons/Group

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi community,

Is there still an issue with the GroupBy if the field in Sharepoint is Person/Group? My script below won't work, even I know that it is correct, still getting the red underline. What could I possibly be missing here?

 

ProjectLead1 is a Persons/Group column in my Sharepoint list.

 

GroupBy(AddColumns(Project_Tracker, "LeadNames", ProjectLead1.DisplayName), "LeadNames", "ProjectGrouped")

    The display name is a person field cannot be accessed directly using AddColumn so the solution is to use ForAll to build the table instead.

     

    GroupBy(
 ForAll(
 Project_Tracker, 
 {LeadNames: LeadNames, ProjectLead1: ProjectLead1.DisplayName}
 ),
 "LeadNames",
 "ProjectGrouped"
)

    thank you @mdevaney, I fixed this one by changing my field in Sharepoint to Single selection only for this. Still your script is an alternative solution.
