Office365Users.SearchUser - Use column value from Gallery as search text.

Posted on by Marty3012

Hi,

I have a ComboBox1 who's Items property is set to the following;

Choices([@'Share_Point_List_1'].'Name')

This code successfully brings in all the items in column 'Name' from 'Share_Point_List_1'. The column 'Name' is a look up column in SP.

I then have a Gallery called 'Gallery_MasterList' who's 'items property is set to the following;

Filter('Share_Point_List_2', 'Name' = ComboBox1.Selected.Value)

So this is filtering Share_Point_List_2 and its column 'Name' with the value selected from the 'ComboBox1' above. The column 'Name' in Share_Point_List_2 is of text format.

Here is what I would like to achieve;

Expand the filter above so that it filters on 'Name' column but returns the value of another column called 'SME'. The 'SME' column is of Person type column
Take that persons name and use it as search text in Office365Users.SearchUser

I have another Combobox set up with the following parameters;

So, in 'DefaultSelectedItems' property the name of the SME is passed to it. It would be great if this can be done and appreciate any help.

Thanks

@Marty3012 ,
To use the SME's name as search text in Office365Users.SearchUser, you can use the LookUp like:
Office365Users.SearchUser(LookUp('Share_Point_List_2', 'Name' = ComboBox1.Selected.Value).SME)
Set the DefaultSelectedItems for ComboBox2 if you want to display the user's display name, it can be set like this:
Office365Users.SearchUser(LookUp('Share_Point_List_2', 'Name' = ComboBox1.Selected.Value).SME).DisplayName

If this is the answer for your question, please mark the post as Solved.
If this answer helps you in any way, please give it a like.

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

I probably didn't explain my use case properly. Below is an example of how I would like things to go;
Later on in the form when the user submits, the new SME person will be added. This I can look into later.
Thanks
