I am trying to do a survey(ish) app with powerapps. I would like the user to select 1st,2nd,3rd choices (ranked) from a sharepoint list(12 items). Secondly, I would like to tie their choices to a pie chart. I am having trouble and any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Here's my suggestion on how to create the ranked choices.
#1 Create a new SharePoint list called 'MySurvey'. Then add 3 columns all with the data type single-line text.
#2 Now go to PowerApps. Add an Edit Form to your app. Use the SharePoint list you just created in the Items property
MySurvey
#3 Add the fields ChoiceRank1, ChoiceRank2, ChoiceRank3 to the Edit Form.
#4 Now delete the TextInput from each Card. Add in a new Dropdown control. Name it drp_ChoiceRank1.
#5 Put this code in the Items property of drp_ChoiceRank1
your_choices_sharepoint_list_name.column_name
#6 Change the Update property of the Card for drp_ChoiceRank1 to this code
drp_ChoiceRank1.Selected.Value
#7 Repeat steps 4-6 for drp_ChoiceRank2 and drp_ChoiceRank3
#8 Add a submit button to the form and change and set the DisplayMode property. This will have the impact of disabling the button if two of the choices are the same.
If(
drp_ChoiceRank1.Selected.Value <> drp_ChoiceRank2.Selected.Value
And drp_ChoiceRank2.Selected.Value <> drp_ChoiceRank3.Selected.Value
And drp_ChoiceRank1.Selected.Value <> drp_ChoiceRank3.Selected.Value,
DisplayMode.Edit
DisplayMode.Disabled
)
#9 Put this code in the OnSelect property of the Submit button
SubmitForm(your_form_name)
#10 Give your form a test run.
That seems like more than enough instructions for now. Best to wait on anything related to the pie chart until you've built the form. It will probably be a totally different question.
