Dropdown with lookup to parent list

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 71

Hi there,

 

I have two lists: projects and partners. (Not all projects have partners but all partners belong to a project).

In my partner list I have a ProjectID field which is a lookup to the ProjectID in the project list. 

 

I would like to create a dropdown that displays only projects that have a partner (project id exists in the partner list). Any ideas how to do that?

    Thank you @FLMike 

     

    Perhaps I need a bit more detail from you on how to make it work. 

    I would like my dropdown to show a single count of all the Projects that have a match in the Partners table. The partner table contains a field called ProjectID which is a lookup to the Projects table. I've tried creating a collection with addcolumns, "new column", !IsEmpty(filter(Partners,ProjectID.Value=ProjectID)) but this doesn't work. I tried the option of adding a column with an if statement (if is empty "no partner", "partner"). I tried a distinct function on the partner table then add column, but that runs into a delegation issue. Any ideas?

    Hello @Laura3 

     

    You would need to filter, try this and let me know

     

    Filter('Projects', IsBlank('LookUpField'))
