Need Help with Add Columns Formula

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I need help with a formula. If anyone has a better way to do this then that would be awesome.

ClearCollect(ReviewList, 
AddColumns(Filter(FSDetailSupport_, Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1"),
"CurrentReviewer",
If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1",LookUp(FSDetailSupport_,ID=ID,Reviewer_1.DisplayName),
If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2",LookUp(FSDetailSupport_,ID=ID,Reviewer_2.DisplayName),
If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3",LookUp(FSDetailSupport_,ID=ID,Reviewer_3.DisplayName))))));

I currently am using the above collection formula to add a column called "Current User" that looks up the name of the user based on the value in the Review_Status Column. For whatever reason it will not pull in the user for column when the review status is "Sent to Reviewer3". I have tried everything. It's not formatting. I don't know how to fix it, but I really need it to do this.

Is there a better formula I could use?

Hi @Becca51178 :
I guess this condition "ID=ID" may cause ambiguity.Please Try:

ClearCollect(ReviewList,
            AddColumns(
                 RenameColumns(Filter(FSDetailSupport_,Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1"),"ID","IDD"),
                 "CurrentReviewer",
                 If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1",
                    LookUp(FSDetailSupport_,ID=IDD,Reviewer_1.DisplayName),
                    If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2",
                       LookUp(FSDetailSupport_,ID=IDD,Reviewer_2.DisplayName),
                       If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3",
                       LookUp(FSDetailSupport_,ID=IDD,Reviewer_3.DisplayName))))));
or
ClearCollect(ReviewList, AddColumns( RenameColumns(Filter(FSDetailSupport_,Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1"),"ID","IDD"), "CurrentReviewer", If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1", Reviewer_1.DisplayName, If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2", Reviewer_2.DisplayName, If(Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3", Reviewer_3.DisplayName)))));
or
ClearCollect(ReviewList, AddColumns( RenameColumns(Filter(FSDetailSupport_,Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1"),"ID","IDD"), "CurrentReviewer", Switch(Review_Status.Value, "Sent to Reviewer1", Reviewer_1.DisplayName, "Sent to Reviewer2", Reviewer_2.DisplayName, "Sent to Reviewer3", Reviewer_3.DisplayName)));
If you still have any question,please don't hesitate to let me know.
Best Regards,
Bof

Hi @Becca51178 ,
Just for something different - you might try the new As statement to cure the ambiguity. I have also done a With() and a Switch() to condense the code a bit.
ClearCollect( ReviewList, AddColumns( Filter( FSDetailSupport_, Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer3" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer2" || Review_Status.Value="Sent to Reviewer1" ) As vReview, "CurrentReviewer", With( { vName: LookUp( FSDetailSupport_, ID=vReview.ID ) }, Switch( Review_Status.Value, "Sent to Reviewer1", vName.Reviewer_1.DisplayName, "Sent to Reviewer2", vName.Reviewer_2.DisplayName, "Sent to Reviewer3", vName.Reviewer_3.DisplayName ) ) ) )

Thanks @Becca51178 ,
You do have the option (up to you entirely) of accepting more than one solution, especially if they are helpful in the future for others.
