A select that depends on a second select

Posted on by 256

Hello!

 

I want to create a form with a select with names, on selecting one name I want that a sencond select will give me the related option such as his department and/or his eqipment.

How shoul'I set the list? Should I use a single list or a list for names and another for the equipment/department?

    Hi @Utente_365_1fl ,

     

    What you're describing are cascading dropdowns. If you have a look around on these in this community forum, you'll find plenty of examples on how to implement those.

    Hi, I'm not sure what components you want to do this with: gallery, drop down, etc. But this is possible with a few different components. Here is the demo app I made, the left list shows my "case types" and the right list shows all of the cases that are of that type. You would want users on the left, and all of that user's equipment on the right.

    Left list that displays case types has this for the "Items" property.

    'Case Types'

     

    Right list that shows related cases has this for the "Items" property.

    Filter(Cases, 'Case Type'.'Case Type' = ListBox1.Selected.'Case Type')

     

    You could list users, then display their equipment. You could make another list, or just a label for their department. Replace my example tables with the ones you need (users, contacts, equipment, etc).

     

    Hope this helps you get started with what you need.

    MMM...ok thank you! In this way can I save what is it selected?

    That means that I sould have two lists:

    • one with names and the reference of the departments
    • another with the departments

    How can I create the reference between names and departments? I come from mysql and php and in that language I create a select with the list on name, one with the list of departments than I save with a query that has the values of the name and the departments.

    But in power apps how is it possible?
