Filtering Data From Multiple Data Sets

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hi! I'm fairly new to PowerApps and not sure if what I would like is a possibility. 

 

I want to retrieve distinct names from dataset A : colApp. However, I also want to add an additional filter from another data set(let's say dataset B for this example. The two data sets have column 'Plant #' that have the same data and can be used as the foreign key. Essentially, my dropdown results should only show Names where Approver.Email = varEmail in colApp (dataset A) and status = "confirmed" in dataset B. 

 

Currently this is my distinct function on data set A. This works fine. 

Sort(

     Distinct (

    Filter(

        colApp,

        Approver.Email = varEmail ),

        Name)

    ,

    Result

)

 

Here is my second filter on dataset B. I'm not sure how to incorporate it into the first filter. 

Filter ('Inventory_Updated', EditorStatus = "COMPLETED")

    i guess:

    Sort(
    
     Distinct (
    
     Filter(
    
     colApp,
    
     Approver.Email = varEmail && Filter ('Inventory_Updated', EditorStatus = "COMPLETED") ),
    
     Name)
    
     ,
    
     Result
    
    )
