Best approach

Hi,

 

Wandering what best approach is for following scenario.

 

I have 3 seperate Sharepoint lists with a single column that is a lookup column, I require.

 

These will be populated into a combo box.

 

There could end being 5,000 records down the track.

 

Would the best approach be to create a collection or use add columns?

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi @Tango ,

     

    I think, using addCollumns, the formula would be simpler. You could directly add related columns of other tables to the table with the lookup column. And ClearCollect is a behavioral function, it cannot be put directly in the combo box and needs to be put in the OnStart of the app.
