Hello!

I have two dropdown columns. How do I set the values in dropdown column two based on the first one?
For example:
If the first dropdown column contains "XXX", set the values in dropdown column two to: XXX_1, XXX_2, XXX_3, XXX_4?

I am assuming you are using SharePoint as your data source.

When we have dependency of the columns, we need to maintain the dependency mapping in a separate SharePoint list.

In the mapping list "CountriesCities", maintain the following columns:

Country	City
US	New York
US	Chicago
India	Delhi
India	Mumbai

In your data connections, add the above list as well.

First Drop Down: Distinct(CountriesCities,Country)

Second Drop Down: Filter(Countries, Country=FirstDropDown.Selected.Value).City

I hope this will be helpful. Please let us know if you have any questions here.

Hi,
I am not using Sharepoint for the first dropdown column, I am using Business Central. Therefore I don't know the value in dropdown column 1 (it is order numbers from Business Central). Somehow I need to set the value to "X", because I don't know it in advance. For example:
If I create a new order in Business Central with the order number 1000, the first dropdown column in my power app will have the value 1000. Then I want the second dropdown values to be : 1000_1, 1000_2, 1000_3 and so on. Do you understand how I mean? 🙂 @rsaikrishna
