Hi there!

I’m building an employee directory in Powerapps. I have it when a user type in a name in the txtEmployeeName search box, it will display that user’s information with a photo in galMain gallery. Also, another Gallery for the manager (galManager) and direct reports (galDirect) for that selected user. What would be the best way to do the OnSelect when they click on a Manager or Direct Report’s photo, that selected user populate into the galMain and have it show their manager and directs? For example, I click on Charlie Brown's photo from the Direct Reports, He will show up in the galMain and show his information. Below are the formulas for the galleries.

galMain Items - Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:txtEmployeeName.Text}),IsBlank(Department)= false,AccountEnabled=true)

galManager Items - Office365Users.Manager(galMain.Selected.UserPrincipalName)

galDirect Items - Office365Users.DirectReports(galMain.Selected.UserPrincipalName)

Photos - Office365Users.UserPhoto(ThisItem.UserPrincipalName)

Thank you for your time.

Tim

Try following 3 steps solution and please let us know if it works:

1 - For the OnVisible property of your ~~App~~ Screen, Set(selectedUser, User().FulllName)

2 - Default value of your textbox = selectedUser

3 - OnSelect property for manager photo/name or direct report photo/name should be Set(selectedUser,ThisItem.UserPrincipalName)

I have one more question. I made a combo box so the user can select one from all of the employees listed. The name of that combo box is cmbName and the code for that combo box is Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:cmbName.SearchText,top:400}).
The galMain code is Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:cmbName.Selected.GivenName}),IsBlank(Department)= false,AccountEnabled=true)

Can I do this same solution with a combo box instead of a text box? Might need to add an "IF" statement?
