Get Items from a MultiSelect Choice Column in SharePoint and Compare to Dropdown in Power Apps

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 76
In SharePoint I have a list named BCPStatus.  If Status field in Status is Yes, I want to Lookup the items in the MarketsImpacted field.   Markets Impacted field is a MultiSelect Choice type column. 
So after looking up items selected, compare it to Power Apps EditForm1_3 form field DDMarket_1, which is a single choice dropdown field.    Then Something like this:
    If(DDMarket_1.Selected.Value in MarketsImpacted field),"Do Some stuff","Do some other stuff")

I started with trying to collect from BCPStatus MarketsImpacted, but it brings back all choices available instead of the selected choices.  Plus I don't know how to filter this to only include Status is Yes. Sorry this is as far as I've gotten.  
 
ClearCollect(colMyCollection,
   (Choices(BCPStatus.MarketsImpacted))

    Are you trying to do something like this (assuming Status is a Choice field) and the output of ddMarket_1 is .Value )
    With(
       {
          _Data:
          Filter(
             BCPStatus,
             Status.Value = "Yes"
          )
       },
       If(
          DDMarket_1.Selected.Value in _Data.MarketsImpacted.Value,
          "Do some stuff",
          "Do some other stuff"
       )
    )

    @WarrenBelz   Yes this is what I wanted. On the 'Value', I'm getting 'The '.' operator cannot be used on text values and Name isn't valid' respectively.

    If Status is a Text fields, get rid of .Value.  I assume MarketsImpacted is a multi-choice field ?
    With(
       {
          _Data: 
          Filter(
             BCPStatus,
             Status = "Yes"
         )
       },
       If(
         !IsBlank(
            LookUp(
              _Data,
              DDMarket_1.Selected.Value in MarketsImpacted.Value
            )
          ),
          "Do some stuff",
          "Do some other stuff"
       )
    )
