DropDown Selection get other row details

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 204

Hi Guys,

 

I have a dropdown list pointing to a column within my collection.

 

My collection for example has columns models, ID's, and Row Numbers.

 

When a user selects a model I would like to know the Id for that particular model.

Now I know I can use a lookup formula although the problem is there are duplicate model numbers with different ID's.

 

A lookup will only give me the first match. I have added in a row counter to try and get the row of the selected model so then I can match it back to the ID.

 

A gallery will allow me to get the correct value although I don't want to use one in this instance. I need to use a dropdown.

 

Is there anyway to get row information on the selected dropdown model item ?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Dropdown.Selected.othercolumname 

    A dropdown contains an entire record but only shows one column in the window. The others can be referenced as above.

    Thank you although my dropdown is stored in results.

     

    Example: 'ColorSelection'.Selected.Result

     

    How would I get the other column names ? I have tried to add the column name at the end although doesn't work.

    It appears that you are using a Distinct() function in your dropdown.  This eliminates all of the other columns so they cannot be referenced. If the dropdown Items property is a table with multiple columns, you can reference them.
