Customize new form with options based on selection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

I’d like to create a SharePoint custom new form that displays different information based on the users selection. For example if someone selects the option to adjust their day off for another day, I’d like the form to then display options related to that. How would I create this using power apps?

    Hi @arr1127 :

        Could you describe "display options related to that" in detail ?(In what control are these options? Which data source does its data come from? What does it have to do with the date selected by the user? In what control does the user select the date? What is the data source of the control?What is the relationship between the date selected by the user and the options of another control?)

        I assume that the user selects a date through a dropdown(DropdownA), and another dropdown control(DropdownA), provides different options according to the date selected by the user.The key is to use the selection of DropDownA to filter the data source of DropDownB.I'v made a test for your reference

    1\DropdownA

    Items

     

    ["Date1","Date2","Date3"]

     

    2\

    Item

     

    Switch(
     DropdownA.SelectedText.Value,
     "Date1",
     [
     "Option1",
     "Option2"
     ],
     "Date2",
     [
     "OptionA",
     "OptionB"
     ],
     "Date3",
     [
     "Option!",
     "Option@"
     ]
    )

    This is exactly what I was looking for, when you selection one option it displays different options based on the first selection. Thank you!!

    Hi @v-bofeng-msft ,

     

    hate to be a bother but I am extremely new to all of this and although you’ve shown me exactly what I’m looking to accomplish, I’m not sure where I insert this formula, are you able to assist with that? Or have a resource for me to check out with this info? 

    thank you!
