Split a String of Variables

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

 

In a Sharepoint list, I have a column that can take multiple values, and I'm trying to figure out the code to separate these values when clicked.

 

Example: when user clicks Football and Basketball in SP when submitting a new item into the list, the flow returns FootballBasketball, I need it to return Football, Basketball.

 

Could anyone help with this?

 

Thanks

    What type of SharePoint column are you using?  If it is a choice column, you should select the item in Dynamic properties that is the column name followed by Value.  That should put you into a loop that will allow you to evaluate each value selected.

    In my example below, my multi-select choice column is called MyChoice:
