I had never used the "Depends On" function in Power Apps - I just put in the filter(s) in the Data /Items fx.
Filter([Data Table], [Column Name1] = [Drop Down Control1].Selected.Result && [Column Name2] = [Drop Down Control 2].Selected.Result)
When you click on the "Depends On" link it shows me a parent control that I didn't even reference in my formula, ignores the second filter control., and matches a completely different column (not in my formula). Is that normal? My application still works as I expect, but why would that "Depends On" junk be in there if it isn't used?
Also, with formulas, I can reference other types of controls (like a text input for a partial name search), that isn't even an option in the "Depends On." Is this some type of wizard for point and click Power Apps functionality? If so, we really should be able to remove it if it is pulling in incorrect junk.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Thank you for your feedback and I agree with you. The depend on function is actually used to quickly establish the dependence between two dropdown, and it can be correctly displayed when the formula conforms to the dependence conditions.
For Parent Control, it's similar to Dropdown in the app, showing the first option by default. But it has no effect on the actual use of the formula or app.
If you want like this design, please submit an idea to Microsoft in PowerApps Ideas Forum.
Hope this helps.
