Fill in combobox with data from Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

In our PowerApps form we use a Power Automate flow to get some data from an external system (by http rest).
The Power Automate function returns the info to a global variable Flowdata.cmbVerlof as 
"A";"B";

In the combobox settings we configure the List items as

This results in a combobox showing only 1 choice "A";"B" instead of 2 choices A and B as separate option:

It should give the result as by using the variable / result from Power Automate.

    You just need to present the data in a table format so that the combobox can use it.

     

    First let's split the text provided by the flow (; is our separator)

     

    Split(Flowdata.cmbVerlof, ";")

     

    This will result in the following table

     

    "A"
    "B"

     

    Clean it up (get rid of the double quotes)

     

    Split(Substitute(Flowdata.cmbVerlof, """", ""), ";")

     

    And voila

    A
    B
