Combining two collections

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,257 Super User 2024 Season 1
I want to combine two collections into one.  So n the new collection (colCombined) ,  for every entry in colA  I want a row from colB and  the fields of colB tagged on and included  so for example in colA I have 4 rows with 3 columns column1 column2 column3
and in ColB I have 2 columns and 3 rows
ColA
 
Column1A Column2A Colum3A
Blue Round Here
Red square There 
Green Triangle everywhere
Yellow Round there
 
ColB
 
Column1B Column2B
Yesterday 1
Today 2
Tomorrow 3
 
I want the new colCombined to look like this
 
ColComb1 ColComb2 ColComb3 ColComb4 ColComb5
Blue Red Here Yesterday 1
Blue Red Here Today 2
Blue Red Here Tomorrow 3
Red Square There Yesterday 1
Red Square There Today 2
Red Square There Tomorrow 3
etc etc      
 
This is the code I have and it works.. however it creates a nested collection and I have to click on each row to view the details in the collection and so therefore I can't either use it in a gallery or patch it easily to a list which is what I want to do.  How do I make the collection flat?
 
ClearCollect(
    colCombined,
    ForAll(
        colA,
        ForAll(
            colB,
            {
                
                CombinedField1:colAfield1,
                CombinedField2:colAfield2,
                CombinedField3:colAfield3
                CombinedField4:colBfield1,
                CombinedField5:colBfield2,

            }
    ))
)
 
Hoping you can help !
 
 
If it's more efficient to patch the combination of the 2 collections straight to the sharepoint list rather than this middle step of creating a collection I'm happy to do that.  There is one people field amongst the fields so that just needs to be taken into account when patching
 
Thanks
 
TIA
