Using AddColumns to combine two unrelated SharePoint lists

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 446

I see many variations of what I'm looking, but none that match what I'm trying to do. I'd like to take two lists and combine them into a single gallery. These lists have nothing in common so there are no relationships between them. Think of them as one is the actual data while the other are submissions to be added to the real data once approved.

 

The request I'm getting is to display both the real data and the submissions in the same gallery (I don't know why they want it this way as this is honestly not the best approach, but I digress). Now the submissions list contains more columns than the actual data does, so I figured this would be the list to build on with AddColumns. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to simply combine them together, as I'm guessing there's some sort of ForAll that needs to happen and I always struggle with it. Here's the list name and columns I'd like to add to the "Acronym Submissions" list:

 

List name - Acronyms

Columns - Acronym, Definition, Definition 2, Definition 3, Definition 4

 

Thank you in advance!

    I got the data combined into one table with the help of this post, but now I need to actually combine two of the columns into one for sorting purposes. The Acronyms list has the column Acronym, and the Acronym Submissions list has the column Acronym Request. I basically need the values from both these columns in a single column (let's call it AcronymAndSubmission) so that I can sort it.

     

    Is this easily feasible?

    This sounds like a one to many relationship to me.
