Combine two collections

Posted on by StefanAndrasi 10
Greetings , 
 
I have two choice column in my SP list , one column is Equipment Description and the other is EquipmentID , i have created two collections to get the data separately.
ClearCollect(
    colEquipmentDescriptions,
    Choices('NewLine Release Equipments'.'Equipment Description')
);
 
// Create a collection for EquipmentID choices
ClearCollect(
    colEquipmentIDs,
    Choices('NewLine Release Equipments'.EquipmentID)
);
 
The information is like this:
Equipment Description EquipmentID
LeakTester 2 ATEQ KERO-A1-1684
LeakTester 1 ATEQ KERO-A1-1683
EBC470 CaseUp Line KERO-A1-1682
Laser Welding - 1.2 KERO-A1-1681
EasyRouter KERO-A1-1680
MLL-3P + Extension KERO-A1-1679
EOL GM1 KERO-A1-1674
FCT KERO-A1-1664
Ebsomat 20-3 KERO-A1-1661
Surubelnita KERO-A1-1655
EOL Trane KERO-A1-1654
MUTE TERMINAL MACHINES KERO-A1-1632
 
 
How can i combine these two collections into one , the thing that i want to do in my app is that i have a combobox with the Equipment Description and i have a dropdown that i want to autopopulate the EquipmentID for the coresponding Equipment Description.
Please help because i ran out of ideas , i tried to get some info from AI but it doesn't help me.
 
Thank you in advance.

    Try this structure 
    ClearCollect(
   colEquipmentDescriptions,
   ShowColumns(
      AddColumns(
         'NewLine Release Equipments',
         Equipment_Description,
         'Equipment Description'.Value,
         Equipment_ID,
         EquipmentID.Value
      ),
      Equipment_Description,
      Equipment_ID
   )
)

    Hi WarrenBelz , 
     
    Thank you for the answer , but unfortunately its not what i need , is getting only the first Equipment Description with the first EquipmentID , i need my collection to show them all , there are 541 entries for both Equipment Description and EquipmentID.
     
    I wrote this:
    ClearCollect(
    colCombinedEquipments,
    ForAll(
        colEquipmentDescriptions, // For each Equipment Description
        {
            EquipmentDescription: ThisRecord.Value, // The value of the Equipment Description
            EquipmentID: LookUp(
                colEquipmentIDs,
                Value = ThisRecord.Value, // Match the description with the ID
                Value // Return the corresponding Equipment ID
            )
        }
    )
);

     
    But the information is this , altough there are all the entries , i have the EquipmentID as blank , i have the first value in both column named Blank

    I am now a bit unclear what you need - from your initial post you have a list called 'NewLine Release Equipments' that has two choice fields 'Equipment Description' and 'Equipment ID'. It appeared that you are wanting to create a collection showing these columns converted to text.
    However are these choices hard-coded in the list (541 of them ??) as choices on each item and you want the choice values available ? If so note you will need to increase your Data Row Limit to at least 541
    With(
   {
      _Data1: 
      ForAll(
         Sequence(CountRows(Choices('NewLine Release Equipments'.'Equipment Description'))),
         Patch(
            Index(
               Choices('NewLine Release Equipments'.'Equipment Description'),
               Value
            ),
            {No1: Value}
         )
      ),
      _Data2: 
      ForAll(
         Sequence(Choices('NewLine Release Equipments'.EquipmentID))),
         Patch(
            Index(
               Choices('NewLine Release Equipments'.EquipmentID),
               Value
            ),
            {No2: Value}
         )
      )
   },
   ClearCollect(
      colEquipment,
      ShowColumns(
         AddColumns(
            RenameColumns(
               _Data1,
               Value,
               Equipment_Description
            ),
            Equipment_ID,
            LookUp(
               _Data2,
               No2 = No1,
               Value
            )
         ),
         Equipment_Description,
         Equipment_ID
      )
   )
)
