Dynamic Column Name In Combo Box

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dahlgebra 119

Hi, 

 

I have a combobox in my PowerApp that shows me the desired alternatives based on a SP-list.

 

In order to make it dynamic, it has to use the function user().FullName instead of hardcoding the name ("Name1. How can I apply this function in the code below:

- Choices(Sharepointlist.'Name1')

 

Thanks in advance!

    You mean you want the current user to be selected in the combo box? If so, set the DefaultSelectedItems to

    Filter(Sharepointlist, Name1 = User().FullName)

    Also, suggest storing User().FullName in a variable and then using that in the filter.

    Let me know if this helps.
