Autopopulate dropdowns, but not in a form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 725

Hi everyone

The app I am working on is to log incident reports, which currently consists of about 15 dropdowns, a few text fields and a date picker. I would like to use the same fields to enter a new incident and also amend existing ones. So I would use a combobox to choose a previous incident which would autopopulate all the dropdowns and text fields that could then be amended.

 

Thank you

    What is the data source for this app?

    15 drop downs, where is the data coming from for these drop downs?

     

    Depending on the details you provide, you can auto populate values. 

     

    Filter(), LookUp() functions will be helpful to isolate the required values.

    Hi, For now it is a One Drive Excel spreadsheet.

    I would like to use these same fields to enter a new report or edit an existing one, I was going to use a toggle to switch modes. However my current problem is making the fields populate using ComboBox1_1 to choose which report to edit. The layout is very messy at the moment, but i am just trying to sort the mechanics of it all.
