Hi Team,

I am wondering if you are able to please help me correct my query. I am wanting to take multiple values from my "DistroList" field in SharePoint which is "Value1; Value2" (This is how it's passed to the SharePoint by my PowerApp).

This is my query (I am able to get 1 result, but as soon as it has more than one) then it's no good.

DEFINE

VAR __DS0FilterTable =

TREATAS({"@{triggerOutputs()?['body/DL']}"}, 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)])

VAR __DS0Core =

CALCULATETABLE(

SUMMARIZE(

'FctEmployee',

'FctEmployee'[Employee Name],

'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail],

'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)],

'FctEmployee'[Region],

'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea]

KEEPFILTERS(__DS0FilterTable)

)

VAR __DS0PrimaryWindowed =

TOPN(

501,

__DS0Core,

'FctEmployee'[Employee Name],

'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail],

'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)],

'FctEmployee'[Region],

'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea],

)

EVALUATE

__DS0PrimaryWindowed

ORDER BY

'FctEmployee'[Employee Name],

'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail],

'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)],

'FctEmployee'[Region],

'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea]

Hi @Albertax

Real fast 🙂 can you repost this using the Code Snippet </> , its really hard to look at a giant string

I really want to help, but I am not connecting the issue you are having to this data (from the App)

Can you, possibly show me what the data looks like? Is this data in a single column that is like JSON and you want to parse it?

Apologies, its just not connecting in my head.

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

Thank You

Here is the code snippet

DEFINE VAR __DS0FilterTable = TREATAS({"@{triggerOutputs()?['body/DL']}"}, 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)]) VAR __DS0Core = CALCULATETABLE( SUMMARIZE( 'FctEmployee', 'FctEmployee'[Employee Name], 'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail], 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)], 'FctEmployee'[Region], 'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea] ), KEEPFILTERS(__DS0FilterTable) ) VAR __DS0PrimaryWindowed = TOPN( 501, __DS0Core, 'FctEmployee'[Employee Name], 1, 'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail], 1, 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)], 1, 'FctEmployee'[Region], 1, 'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea], 1 ) EVALUATE __DS0PrimaryWindowed ORDER BY 'FctEmployee'[Employee Name], 'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail], 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)], 'FctEmployee'[Region], 'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea]

Here is what the data looks like (A text field in a SharePoint list). It gets its values like Value1; Value2; Value3 passed from a PowerApp.

I need the user to be able to select multiple Business Areas and pass that value into the TREATAS

Update - I was able to solve this like below.

Valuable if someone needs to take more than one value from a Sharepoint list and run a query against a dataset in Power Automate

DEFINE // This variable holds the output from the DL field in Power Automate. VAR DLFieldValue = "@{triggerBody()?['DL']}" // Output from the DL field // This replaces the semicolon delimiter in the string with a pipe character for easier processing. VAR PipeDelimitedValues = SUBSTITUTE ( DLFieldValue, "; ", "|" ) // Replace delimiter with a pipe // This creates a table of business areas by generating a series of numbers based on the number of items. VAR BusinessAreaList = ADDCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 1, PATHLENGTH ( PipeDelimitedValues ) ), // Generate numbers from 1 to the number of items "BusinessArea", // Name the new column "BusinessArea" PATHITEM ( PipeDelimitedValues, [Value], TEXT ) // Get each item from the pipe-separated list ) // This creates a filter table using the business areas we just created. VAR BusinessAreaFilterTable = TREATAS ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( BusinessAreaList, "Business Area (OM)", [BusinessArea] ), // Select the "BusinessArea" column 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)] // Link it to the corresponding column in the employee table ) // This creates a core dataset by summarizing employee information. VAR SummarizedEmployeeData = CALCULATETABLE ( SUMMARIZE ( 'FctEmployee', // Source table is 'FctEmployee' 'FctEmployee'[Employee Name], // Include employee name 'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail], // Include employee email 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)], // Include business area 'FctEmployee'[Region], // Include region 'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea] // Include personnel subarea ), KEEPFILTERS ( BusinessAreaFilterTable ) // Apply the filter we created earlier ) // This selects all records from the summarized data. VAR AllEmployeeRecords = SummarizedEmployeeData // Source from the summarized dataset // This part runs the evaluation of the selected dataset. EVALUATE AllEmployeeRecords // This orders the final results by the specified columns. ORDER BY 'FctEmployee'[Employee Name], // First by employee name 'FctEmployee'[EmployeeEmail], // Then by email 'FctEmployee'[Business Area (OM)], // Then by business area 'FctEmployee'[Region], // Then by region 'FctEmployee'[Personnel Subarea] // Finally by personnel subarea
