Cascading Dropdown - without replacing prior records

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 697
Hello,
 
I've a SharePoint List which is connected to PowerApps.
I have created 2 fields with cascading dropdown to the PowerApps form.
 
1st is Customer Name and 2nd is Employee Name.
 
As per Customer Name selection we get to select appropriate name in Employee Name field.
 
For e.g. if below Customer names are selected from Customer Name field, In Employee Name we'll only see Cheyenne Name in the drop down
 
Mueller Group
Hood-Ross
Bass-Carr
 
Similarly if below Customer names are selected, if will show Preston's name in the drop down of Employee Name
 
Mccullough
Conway 
Hart-Barry
 
Now what I'm looking for: the Customers which were assigned to Preston, now when the above Customer names are selected, we should have one more Employee name (James) to be selected.
 
So basically, Preston is no more responsible for any of this Customers. All are now assigned to James.
So we do not want to replace Preston name with James

    Hello @Prem4253

    Yes, without making any prior changes, you can simply implement the below code in the Employee dropdown. it will work as per your requirement. (Please note: this is a completely static implementation.)

    For example, in the Items property of the Employee dropdown:

    If(
        CustomerDropdown.Selected.Value in ["Mueller Group","Hood-Ross","Bass-Carr"],
        ["Cheyenne"],
        If(
            CustomerDropdown.Selected.Value in ["Mccullough","Conway","Hart-Barry"],
            ["James"]
        )
    )
    
    //CustomerDropdown - Replace this with customer name dropdown. 
    Approach 2: Recommended Solution
    If you want a cleaner long-term solution, you can maintain a small mapping list in SharePoint instead of hardcoding names in the formula.
     
    Like your list stracture: Assumed List name is : CustomerEmployeeMapping
     
    Column Name Data Type
    Customer Name Single line of text or LookUp
    Employee Name Single line of text or (Person or Group)
     
    Set the Items property of the Employee dropdown to: (Below expression based on assumed single line of text column configuration in list)
    Filter(
        CustomerEmployeeMapping,
        CustomerName = CustomerDropdown.Selected.Value
    )
