Need Help adding to a Collection

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 } ) ) );
