Lookup with if function based on dropdowns

Hi everyone,

I have a button that I want the user to click which will open up an outlook email that has a pre-populated body, but what it says is based off of other dropdown values. A nested if function would do fine, but there are too many conditions and power apps does not allow more than 50. Another user suggested using a table with a lookup function which makes sense, but I am not sure how to combine everything in to one statement.

I have a dropdown that lists names of the users, a dropdown that has all of the bank names, dropdown with the bank account types and a dropdown with the account options. An example of an if statement is posted below.

If(emailToDropdown.Selected.Title = "fName lName" && bankSelectionDropDown.Selected.Title = "Bank" && userSelectDropDown.Selected.Title = "DS" && bankAccountTypeDropDown.Selected.Title = "Transactional" && accountOptionDropDown.Selected.Title = "Open an Account",
 Launch("mailto:fName.lName@email.com" & "?subject= New account opening Bank" & "&body=Hi fName," & "%0A" & "%0A" & "In connection with the new account opening at Bank, attached please find account opening documents submitted for signature." & "%0A" & "Bank accepts docusign" & "%0A" & "%0A" & "Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this request." & "%0A" & "%0A" & "Kind regards"),

How would I go about using a lookup with conditions based on the dropdown values that are selected/not having more than 50 conditions?

Re: Lookup with if function based on dropdowns

Hi @FlatFish ,

One option would be to have a table with all the relevant conditions in fields matching what you are looking up and set the record as a Variable

UpdateContext( { varMail: Lookup( YourList, LookupCriteriaHere ) } )

then each parameter would be

varMail.FieldName
