Return previous records when dropdown option is selected

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi there... very new and trying to build a power app front end to capture Coaching Sessions conducted.  Part of the capture content is that i'd like for historical coaching session information to become available to the Coach, as soon as the Coachee is selected from the dropdown.

COMBO_DB is the current database containing all the records and is the one i want to push the data into

COACHEE is a table with all the Coachee's in it

Dropdown.Coachee is the dropdown box where Coachee can be selected

DATE, NOTES and ACTIONS are the three columns of historical data i'd like to return.

I have tried using Lookup but got lost and also tried First(SortByColumns(Filter(Combo_DB,Coachee=Dropdown.Coachee.Selected.Result),"Created",Descending)).Notes which i took from another powerapp post... but no luck.

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards..TimF

    Hi @TIM_F ,

    Probably something like this

    LookUp(
     Sort(
     Combo_DB,
     Created,
     Descending
     ),
     Coachee='Dropdown.Coachee'.Selected.Result
    ).Notes

    Also you should avoid using full stops . in names
