I need to create a filter that checks if the logged in users email is included in a multi select person column

LookUp('Apointment Calendar',User().Email in 'Technician Assigned')
 
Something similar with the above(although this does not work) where Technician Assigned might have more that one value and its a person column
 
Can someone shed some light on how to do this?

Put the people field into a Filter array action and then filter the Email field on the person you are looking for:

To get the value in the left side of the filter, you need to use the expression builder and enter item()?['Email']. Note, the filter is case-sensitive and that the dynamic value in the From field is your people field that does not return the e-mail, display name, etc.

You can then use a condition to see if the value was found:

This is the expression on the left side of the condition: empty(body('Filter_array'))

Hi NM-06090901-0,

I have added a Text label on the screen which displays a Yes or No based on if the person exists in the person column:

With( {Records: 'Apointment Calendar'}, If(!IsBlank(LookUp( Records, User().Email in 'Technician Assigned'.Email) // you can even look up a selected item or filter by ID ), "Yes", "No" ))

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Nandit
