Concat unique items in SharePoint list which meet criteria

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by PipManifold 184

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to create a concatenated string of unique items which meet a criteria.

 

I have a SharePoint list of programs with columns for school and discipline and I'm trying to create a function where if a school is selected from a dropdown it concats all the disciplines in that school into a string and only lists one instance of each, i.e. Unique.

 

This is my formula so far: Concat(Filter('Program Contact List',School=CAC_School_Dropdown.Selected.Result),Discipline,",")

 

I can't figure out how to get it to spit out unique values though: At the moment it's giving me every entry which meets the school criteria.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
