Having trouble splitting a destination field into from and to fields

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by bobgodin 380

@RandyHayes @WarrenBelz 

I have a Sharepoint list and a field called destination - it contains a string where we have the From and then the To separated by >> for example:
Here >> There
Starting town >> Ending town
I have a combobox where the user can select a destination but I want to separate the string so I have 2 comboboxes:

The From combobox will have the string up to the >> characters and the To combobox will have the string after the >> characters
So it should look like this:
Combobox1:

Here
Starting Town

etc

 

Combobox2:

There

Ending Town

etc

 

any assistance greatly appreciated

    Hi @bobgodin ,

     

    I made a sample for you.

    vxiaochenmsft_1-1688441707718.png

    ShowColumns( AddColumns(LIST16,"temp",First( Split(Title,">>")).Value),"temp")

    vxiaochenmsft_2-1688441726168.png

    ShowColumns( AddColumns(LIST16,"temp",Last( Split(Title,">>")).Value),"temp")

     

    Best Regards,
