Filter out duplicate rows in gallery

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jed76

Hi

I have a SP list comparising staff annual leave records. Each member of staff currently has 5 records each but in a particular gallery I only want to show one record per staff member. I have tried the DISTINCT function in the ITEMS propert of the galler such as:

 

Distinct('Time Off Balances', Employee),Value

 

...but this only returns one column so I am unable to 'get at' the other columns using the usual "ThisItem....." property?

 

Can anyone tell me how I remove duplicate rows based on the EMPLOYEE NAME but still show all columns available in the gallery please?

 

Many thanks!

    Hey @jed76 

     

    Try this:

     

    Set the Items property of the gallery to the following formula:

    Distinct('Time Off Balances', Employee, AllColumns)

     

    Here, we are using the All Columns argument to include all columns from the 'Time Off Balances' list in the Distinct function. Now, you can access the columns of each distinct record using the usual "ThisItem" property. For example, if you want to display the Employee Name and other columns in the gallery, you can use the following code(Replace labels with gallery controls):

     

    Label1.Text = ThisItem.Employee
    Label2.Text = ThisItem.OtherColumn1
    Label3.Text = ThisItem.OtherColumn2

     

    By using the Distinct function with the All Columns argument, you will get a unique set of records based on the employee name while still having access to all columns of each distinct record in the gallery.

     

    I hope this helps 🙂

    Hi

     

    Many thanks!

     

    I must be writing something incorrectly as 'AllColumns' isn't recognised? Sounds exactly what I want though!
