Filter Drop Down by Record lookup selection

Posted on by CyOt 13

Hi, I have a combo box that has a SharePoint List (Department) as its data source. Dept.png

I have another SharePoint list "Approvers" that has the user email and the Departments he should see on the combo box.

User Dept.png

The Dept column is a lookup field to the Department SharePoint list.

How can i ensure that user cy.ot only sees Education and Marketing on the combo box when they log onto the app.

I have been able to retrieve their email on the app under User().Email

 

Thanks

    Hi @CyOt ,

     

    You need a formula on comboBox items similar to:

    Filter(Choices([Approvers].Dept), Value in Concat(LookUp(Approvers,Requester=User().Email).Dept,Value)) 

     

    Also to avoid delegation warning  given by the user of User().Email please use a local variable (context / global ) to keep this value before call it in this function.

     

    Hope it helps !

    Hi @gabibalaban , thanks a million.

    I changed it slightly their is a delegation warning but it should be fine for my scenario. Thank you!!!

    Filter(Department, Title in Concat(LookUp(Approvers,Requester=User().Email).Dept,Value))

    Ups ... I forgot about User().Email delegation warning... it should be fixed with a local variable (global or context) .

    I'll change the initial post to solve this issue. 

    Thanks for understanding ! 😊
