Combo Box

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 640

Hello People,

 

I'm trying to build a searchable combo box. I have 2 combo boxes.

Scenario: Let's say, I am selecting Semester from the first combo box. and for the second combo box, I am filtering the students based on the selection of the first combo box.

I want to make second combo box searchable for the student name.

 

I'm using SQL Server as a data source.

 

Thanks,

Omi

    In your combobox1 items property put:

    Datasource.semester

     

    In the second combobox put;

    Filter(Datasource, Semester=combobox1.Selected.Semester)

    thanks, @eka24 ,

     

    this is my current code for that combo box: Distinct(Sort(Filter('[travel].[CourseDesc]',Semester=First(SemesterBox_1.SelectedItems).Result),Descending),email1)

     

    and if I allow search dropdown will not appear. And I allow search then nothing happens.

     

    Best,

    On the Onvisible of the screen put;

    ClearCollect (MyCourse,'[travel].[CourseDesc]')

     

    Then change the formula to;

    this is my current code for that combo box: Distinct(Sort(Filter(MyCourse,Semester=First(SemesterBox_1.SelectedItems).Result),Descending),email1)

     

    Then turn Allow searching

    I Suggest you show a screen shot of the sample tables showing the columns. Also indicate the name of the Table on combobox 1 and combobox1
