Limit the Items in Second Combo Box Based on the Selected Item in Another

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 503

Hi all, 

 

I am trying to limit items displayed based off of a primary combo box selection. E.g If I have apples, pears and oranges and I select Apples in the first combo box, then I only want to display different varieties of apples in the second combo box. 

 

I am using an excel tables as the data source and have Apples, pears and oranges in the first table, and Varieties in the second table. 

 

Thank you all for the help!

    Hi @Usernametwice23,

    If your second table contains a foreign key column for the parent category (a column that links it to the first table and contains first table lookup values - this might be "Apples" or "Pears" depending on how you've structured the relationship), then you should just be able to filter the second combo based on the selection of the first.

    eg:

    fruit.png

    As long as your second table has that link to the parent in the form of a column, you can use it in your filter.

    Combo2 Items: property would then be;

    Filter(VarietyTable, ForeignKeyColumn=Combo1.Selected.Fruit)

    Hope this helps,
