Hi All,

 

I have two field in power apps pulling it from Sharepoint list.

Now i want another column by concatenating those 2 fields for eg., First name concatenated with Second Name so that i can name the third field as "Full Name" and display that information. How to Concatenate those 2 fields?

 

Thanks in Advance

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Expanding on @Drrickryp's post, you could do it with a Collection - you could do this at Screen OnVisible

    ClearCollect(
     colDD,
     AddColumns(
     YourListName,
     "FullName",
     'First Name' & " " & 'Second Name'
     )
    )

     The Items of your drop-down would be 

    colDD.FullName

    Hi @Drrickryp ,

     

    In Edit form I added 2 fields in Dropdown. First Name and Second Name.

    But I would like to create a field as Full Name = First Name concatenate Second Name and that i would like to put in Dropdown.

    So instead of 2 dropdown i am trying to give name in Single drop down.

    How to concatenate 2 existing fields in edit form?

     

    Here in the below blog i bought the fields into dropdown and now i am trying to concatenate 2 fields in edit form.

    Hi @Drrickryp ,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    But unfortunately i am confused on where to give this formula or where to create the 3rd column.

     

    In Power BI we will have option like "Create Column" but i dont see such option here.

     

    Where i need to give this formula?

     

    Regards,

    Prakash
