Posted on by Raizo

Not sure if this is possible but here is the scenario:

SharePoint list: FCTminutes
Column Name that I would like to pull data from: 'FCT Norms'
Title: School Name (text Field)

PowerApps Fields:
dpSchool: School Name (dropdown)
txtFCTname: FCT Team name (text field)
txtFCTNorms: FCT Teams Norms (multi-line text field)

I would like to automatically pull the most recent entry from FCT Norms sharepoint field where Title (School Name) and Name in 'FCT Norms' Sharepoint field, equal the values in dpSchool and txtFCTname field on the canvas app. If there is a match in those two fields then add the most recent data in the 'FCT Norms' Sharepoint list and add it to txtFCTNorms text field.

any help would be most appreciated.

hey @Raizo

can u try this:

Items property of dropdown

Distinct(FCTminutes, Title)

default property:

Default = LookUp(FCTminutes, Title = dpSchool.Selected.Result && 'FCT Team Name' = txtFCTname.Text, 'FCT Norms')

mmbr1606,
Quick question, so there may be 20 entries that match the School and FCT name... The Norms may change however so I just want the most recent norms. Right now does this code pick up the first instance and/or is there I way I can pick up the most recent instance, e.g, the last entry by the School (Title) and FCT Name?

you could try this for the default instead:

If( CountRows(Sort(Filter(FCTminutes, Title = dpSchool.Selected.Result && 'FCT Team Name' = txtFCTname.Text), Modified, SortOrder.Descending)) = 0, "No matching records found", First(Sort(Filter(FCTminutes, Title = dpSchool.Selected.Result && 'FCT Team Name' = txtFCTname.Text), Modified, SortOrder.Descending)).'FCT Norms' )

Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

Thanks. This looks like it works but gets a deprecation error. This might be unavoidable, and I may not have more than 2000 records each year.
