Populating a value in drop down based on values from 2 other drop downs (Cascading)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 110

Hello Experts,

I am new to powerapps, learning from your forum, thanks for your support.

I am developing an app similar to below.. but was struck with an error.

I have 4 Sharepoint Lists.

  1. PAMFR(Title/Manufacturer).
  2. PADEVICES(Manufacturer/Device).
  3. PAMODEL(Manufacturer/Device/Model).
  4. PA_ACCESS(Manufacturer/Access)

My Requirement: when I select Manufacturer in dropdown1, I should get the Device in dropdown2 and model in dropdown3 and access in dropdown4.

 

But I am getting the “error” as attached. Also I attached screenshots of my sharepoint lists.

Any help would be of a great help.

Thank you.

    Hi @maruthi216 ,

    Could you please share a bit more about the formula you typed within the Items property of the Dropdown1_1?

    Could you please share a bit more about the data type of the "Manufacturer" column in your PADEVICES, PAMODEL and PA_ACCESS lists? Is it a Choice type column or a Single text type column?

     

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with it. I have made a test on my side, please consider take a try with the following workaround:

    Set the Items property of the Dropdown1 to following:

    Distinct(PAMFR, Manufacturer)

     

    set the Items property of the Dropdown2 to following:

    Filter(PADEVICES, Manufacturer = Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    if the "Manufacturer" column in your PADEVICES list is a Choice type column, please modify above formula as below:

    Filter(PADEVICES, Manufacturer.Value= Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    If you changed the Title column in your PADEVICES list into  "Manufacturer", please modify above formula as below:

    Filter(PADEVICES, Title = Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    then set the Device column as Display column value within the Dropdown2.

     

    set the Items property of the Dropdown3 to following:

    Filter(PAMODEL, Manufacturer = Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    if the "Manufacturer" column in your PAMODEL list is a Choice type column, please modify above formula as below:

    Filter(PAMODEL, Manufacturer.Value= Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    If you changed the Title column in your PAMODEL list into  "Manufacturer", please modify above formula as below:

    Filter(PAMODEL, Title = Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    then set the Model column as Display column value within the Dropdown3.

     

    set the Items property of the Dropdown4 to following:

    Filter(PA_ACCESS, Manufacturer = Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    if the "Manufacturer" column in your PA_ACCESS list is a Choice type column, please modify above formula as below:

    Filter(PA_ACCESS, Manufacturer.Value= Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    If you changed the Title column in your PA_ACCESS list into  "Manufacturer", please modify above formula as below:

    Filter(PA_ACCESS, Title = Dropdpown1.Selected.Result)

    then set the Access column as Display column value within the Dropdown4.

     

    Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

    Thanks Kris.

     

    I was able to fix this issue by "Parent>>>child" relation ship.
