Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi All,

I have created a application (model driven app) for workorders and have the following tables:

Project
Project Phase
Workorder

I would like to create a view that shows all the workorders grouped by Project and Project Phase.

I have created a view with the "Power Apps Grid Control" Compontent, I am able to group by the workorder but i cannot group by the lookup fields. Next to that you can only group by one colomn but preferably i would like to group by multiple colomns like so:

Project (lookup)	Project Phase (lookup)	Workorder
Project 1	Phase 1	Wo-1
		Wo-2
	Phase 2	Wo-3
		Wo-4
Project 2	Phase 3	Wo-5

I know you can create a nested view with a subgrid but as far as i know you cannot do that for multiple relations. Any ideas to solve this? The only option i can think of is creating a pcf component or canvas app and embed it into the application. I hope there is or will be a native function for this.

Kind regards,

Arjan

Building Power Apps

Power Apps Grid Control currently has limitations in grouping lookup fields and supporting multi-level grouping.

Approach 1 - Calculated Column

Calculated Column in the Workorder Table.
Concatenate the Project Name and Phase Name.
Use This Column for Grouping.

Approach 2 - Custom Component PCF

Approach 3 - Canvas App with Nested Galleries

Level 1 - Display distinct Projects.
Level 2 - Filters by Project and displays Phases.
Level 3 (Inside 2) - Workorders for the selected Project & Phase.

Approach 4 - Power BI

If you need it only for visualization you can use the Power BI grouped by Project and Phase you can use Table or Matrix.
Simple and Straight Forward.
