Filter on sharepoint list that return lookup column values

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am new to PowerApps and am needing to figure out a rather complex requirement. I have a SharePoint List that has a list of acronymns and has a column called Categories. All the acronymns have a category associated with them: For example, ABC acronym is associated with clinical category while DEF acronym is associated with Information Technology category. I need  a filter function that will look at the datacard choice field I have (8 categories) and then return the acronymns based on that choice field value the user chooses. Hopefully this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.

    Would you please explain a bit for the SharePoint list, specially for the Categories field?

    To get the Choice Field Value, you could take use of:

    DataCardValue.Selected.Value

     

    If the Categories field is a lookup type field, then the lookup() function should be written as below:

    Lookup(SharePointList, CategoryField.Value=DataCardValue.Selected.Value, acronymns)

    And if the Categories field is a string field, the nteh formula should be changed into:

    Lookup(SharePointList, CategoryField=DataCardValue.Selected.Value, acronymns)

    Regards,

    Michael
