Sharepoint column with multiple choice not connected with PowerApps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 68

Hello. 

 

I have a form in power app connected with sharepoint list. 

 

My first dropdown is a choice, and second dropdown is a multiple choice, depending on the first dropdown.   

Both dropdowns are linked to excel file from where data is taken. 

 

However when i am adding new request in sharepoint i cannot see all items, it comes blank. What can be missing? 

Sharepoint list is active for multiple choices, App is updating correct column in sharepoint. Why the form is not reading multiple option?

    Hi , @PolaCB 

    According to your description, your Form connected to your SharePoint list , the dropdown control in your Form connected to your Excel files.

    Are you experiencing a situation where your current Form cannot display the current data's multiple-select data?

    You may need to check:
    (1)The data displayed by the Form depends on the Item property. You need to ensure that the Item property is a row of data in the data source.

    (2)Check the DefaultSelectedItems property of the DropDown and make sure that the data is a table consisting of several rows of data in the items property.

    For example:

    Filter( 'Excel Data Source'  , ColumnName in ThisItem.FieldName )

    HI. thanks for your feedback! 

    I think I explain incorrectly my issue. 

    In powerApps everything is working. I can select first dropdown, and in the second one I can choose multiple option and I can display correct data.

    However, In SharePoint list first column is visible, and in the second one (this one connected to multiple choice) data is not appearing, column is blank.
