(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 10

 

Hi Everyone

 

Using Power AutoMate i am hoping you can help with the following.

I am trying to update a SharePoint list that is a Vlookup Column from a selection in microsoft forms

I have created a form and one of the fields has a drop down, i want what is selected from the drop down in forms to populate the SharePoint list which is the vlookup column, not sure if this is possible.

Currently my flow is as follows (it does say the flow is succeeded but SharePoint list is not populating)

  • When a new response is submitted
  1. Get response details

  2. initialize variable

  3. apply to each

  4. condition

  5. if yes update item.

@efialttes

The Title in my drop down in forms is "Select your unit Code" the vlookup column in Sharepoint is " UnitCode"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

    Hi @Ange_Lyons !

    What's the title of your drop-down question in Microsoft Forms? Is it "Select the quality...", the one you added in the 'Initializa variable' action block? 
    If so, what type of colum is 'Qualification code' in your SP list? Is it of type lookup column, or choice column?

    The more information context you provide, the faster you will get a useful response
    Thanx!
