Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello Guys,

i've tried quite a long time now and i can't figure it out.

I have a form in Powerapps with several datacards. One of them is called 'Projectcode'. Its Items property is set to a column in a sharepoint list and thus displays the options referencing to the entries in those column. That works more then fine.

As we want to speed up things and it is rather tedious to select out of all the projects we implemented a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner returns a string (varBarcode) formatted as text that contains a code (e.g. XY123).

Now the problem: When i scan the my barcode and the variable varBarcode is set, then my dropdown menu should have this project with the same code as default.

So it should look for the correct options that is the same (yes, every code we scan is a option in the dropdown) and select that option as default.

Setting the Default property of my dropdown to: LookUp(ProjectOverview, Text(Projectcode) = varSV) is my best approach (atleast it doesnt give an error as many other tries) but it doesnt display anyhting

Could you please provide me a solution or point out where my brain is stuck? I am fairly new and that is anything else then logic for me...

Thank you in advance and have a great weekend.

Best, Oliver
