Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

 

 I have a String "James,Jack,Daniel,Bharathiyar" which I want to convert to List using delimiter "," and add the converted array needs to be added as individual values of ListBox Control.

 

I am using Collect(toValue,Split("James,Jack,Daniel,Bharathiyar",","));

 

toValue is the DataType of Table and assigned to Items property of ListBox

    All that looks to be fine.  My one suggestion would be that instead of Collect() it should be ClearCollect().  Also where are you putting this code to run?  In the App OnStart?

     

    Please explain a bit more what your question is.

    I agree with @Pstork1. The formula looks ok.

    If you don't need to use a collection, you can just set the Items property of your listbox control to your formula.
