How to change the choices presented to a user from a SP choice field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Mattw112b 1,088

Hi,

I have a choice field in SharePoint like

 

Apple

Orange

Pear

 

In my Power app, if User().FullName = "Bob Jones"...

 

Then I would like the chocies presented to only be

 

Apple

Orange

 

...

 

How would I accomplish this without hard coding the choices in the app?

 

Right now the Items are

Choices([@Sponsor_1].Role_x0020_to_x0020_Sponsor_x002)
 
Thanks,
Terry

    Filter(Choices([@Sponsor_1].Role_x0020_to_x0020_Sponsor_x002),Value = "Apple" Or "Orange"),
    Choices([@Sponsor_1].Role_x0020_to_x0020_Sponsor_x002))

    So eka24, this didn't work, it only shows the first option (before the OR's) in the dropdown (for example above, "Apple"... not apple and orange).  In my choice I have about a dozen choices and I tried to get them all to show except the one I didn't want, but always just shows the first one before the OR.

     

    So since I only needed (right now) to exclude one option, I just used the code you sent and instead did a

     

    Value <> "Pear"

     

    This works and shows me everything except that option, which will work for me today.

     

    In the future though if I need to exclude more than one option would be good to know how to get your method to work.

     

    Thanks,

    Terry
