Get Hyperlink from Excel online table

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 69

I am very new to this and I have got a bit stuck

 

I have a dropdown list that is populated from an excel Table, in that table I have a link to online hosted PDF 

I am trying to get it so that when the user makes the selection and presses SUBMIT (which goes to a new page with PDF Viewer) PDF viewer gets the link from the table associated with the original selection.

 

I think I need to get the selection choice turn in to  variable and use that to reference back to the table but I'm unsure where in the app I need to do this if this is what I need to do? Or is there another way to do this?

Thanks in advance

    Hi @MRBCODC ,

     

    You could create/set a variable when you click the button.

     

    Set the onselect property of button:

    Set(variable, Patch(...).PdfLink)

     

    Or 

    Set(variable, LookUp(datasource, ColumnName= Dropdown.Selected...).PdfLink)

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky
