Posted on by hasahmad

So I am trying to get a formula working a failing whereby I have a populated List box, If I choose multiple items and click the button, It should populate the text box. The list box is populated by a column in a Sharepoint list.

So I am trying the formula

DataCardValue1.Text = Concat(ListBox2.SelectedItems,ProductArea & ", ");

but it is not performing any task

Hi @hasahmad ,

Please remove the semicolon at the end:

Concat(ListBox2.SelectedItems,ProductArea & ", ")

Since the Text property is declarative, this is causing an issue.

For a listbox populated by a choice column

Concat(ListBox1.SelectedItems,Value,", ")

For a listbox populated by a non choice column

Concat(ListBox1.SelectedItems,ColumnNameBeingReferenced,", ")

Set up both in an app to test this before sending to make sure there were no current bugs happening, both worked as expected

Just place these as the Text property of a label, and not on a button, and no semicolons

The reason I have the ; at the end is because the button also is used to close the "popup"

DataCardValue1.Text = Concat(
ListBox2.SelectedItems,
ProductArea & ", "
);
Set(
VarShowList,
false
);

even when I remove that close function on the button and only have this, the text box is not populating

you cannot set a textboxs text like that on a button you would need to make it

Set(textBoxVar, Concat(ListBox1.SelectedItems,ColumnNameBeingReferenced,", "))

then make the textbox value textBoxVar
