Need Help adding to a Collection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 194

I'm working on an app that is close but I can't figure this last part out:

 

1.) getting data from my SP list by ID and extracting a column value:

Set(varMaterials, LookUp(
WriteUps,
ID = 37
).materialCollection);

 

## the raw data from the SP List item column looks like this: CU|234|2.34;NI|211|12.3; ##

 

2.) On button press I'm getting this data and adding it to a collection. It's adding it in the proper way except for three of the columns (for which I'm splitting data) is getting added as a table inside of my collection. I just want it to appear as plain text.

Code:

Set(varSplitItems,Split(varMaterials,";"));ForAll(varSplitItems,If(!IsBlank(Value),Collect(materialCollection,{Material:First(Split(ThisRecord.Value,"|")),Price:Last(Split(ThisRecord.Value,"|")),Weight:Index(Split(ThisRecord.Value,"|"),2),semiColonVal:";",showEdit: true })));

 

Can someone help me identify what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks!

    Hi @dbro ,

    Try this for all the code

    With(
     {
     wMat:
     Split(
     LookUp(
     WriteUps,
     ID = 37
     ).materialCollection,
     ";"
     )
     },
     ForAll(
     Filter(
     wMat,
     !IsBlank(Value)
     ) As aMat,
     Collect(
     materialCollection,
     {
     Material:
     First(
     Split(
     aMat.Value,
     "|"
     )
     ).Value,
     Price:
     Last(
     Split(
     aMat.Value,
     "|"
     )
     ).Value,
     Weight:
     Index(
     Split(
     ThisRecord.Value,
     "|"
     ),
     2
     ).Value,
     semiColonVal: ";",
     showEdit: true 
     }
     )
     )
    );
