Sharepoint LIst {object] issue

Posted on by 196

Hi 

 

My table is linked to  a sharepoint list - ReserchStudies. I read that you add a column to overcome the [object] issue but struggling to get it to work?  The brand column is a lookup in the sharepoint list

Any ideas?

    Hi @rosscortb ,

    I assume you have a multi-value choice/lookup columns there - if so

    Concat(ThisItem.Brand,Value,", ")

    @WarrenBelz  Thanks Warren.

     

    Are you able to help with the second part please.

     

    1. I want to add a dropdown with the brand names that will filter the table. 

    I never built the sharepoint site, but the table is looking at Reseach Studies. Inside there is a column called Brand which is a look up that seems to be coming from list called Research Brand.

     

    for the dropdown I have = 

    Distinct('Research Brand',Name)

    2. I want to add a "Please select" to the dropdown.

     

    Thanks

    Ross

    Hi @rosscortb ,

    You  probably need this

    Filter(
     'Research Studies',
     Brand.Value = Dropdown6.Selected.Value
    )

    I will also offer another piece of advice - SharePoint Lookup columns are generally completely unnecessary and can can unwanted complexity and restrictions for you. I never use them.

    @WarrenBelz  Thanks. I don't get the option to use  Brand.Value for some reason.

    Hi @rosscortb ,

    That is a Delegation warning, not an error. If you Combo Box is Single Selection it would be

    Filter(
     'Research Studies',
     Dropdown6.SelectedItems in Brand.Value
    )

    but it is still not Delegable.
