How to filter data that equals a specific value in another column?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

 

I'm making a PowerApps dropdown that's connected to a sharepoint list. The sharepoint list has 3 columns which shows the schools, names of staff, and the position of the staff.

 

I would like to filter this so that if a school is selected, only staff of a certain position is returned. So far, I'm only able to filter it to show all staff at the school using Filter(FY21ACMsandSchool, Title=SchoolDropDown.Selected.Result), but it doesn't break it down by the staff positions. Is there a formula that would filter the data if it equals the value from another column?

    I suggest you insert another dropdown for the staff. Then filter as;

    Filter(FY21ACMsandSchool, Title=SchoolDropDown.Selected.Result,

    Staff=StaffDropDown.Selected.Result)
