Checkboxes without Datasource

Posted on by wardeee5

Hi all,

I am currently building a PowerApp that collect's information via form and passes that information through JSON and into a PDF.

I am struggling to only get selected values into a collection. So I am having to display them all and have the name and say if they are True/False. I hate the way this is and can't get my head around how to only show selected checkboxes. See below for example.

Form Question

Summary Page before creating PDF:

I have hardcoded each one of these values as I am not connecting to a data source. The PDF saves into a list.

I did try the Collect & Remove on check/uncheck but turns out a bit like this:

Test Environment PowerApp

Collection

If possible I would like to build something similar to this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @wardeee5 ,'

The broad syntax for a collection would be

ClearCollect( colXXX, Filter( GalleryName.AllItems, CheckBoxName.Value ) )

which would give you the content of all records where the checkbox was checked.

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Hi Warren, really appreciate the help will accept it as a solution! Just one other thing that's not really related so it's fine if I receive no answer (Will eventually figure it out). So I have my two checkboxes set up as shown below.

Is there anyway to any collect the values that are 'True'

Thanks again for the help.
