Filtering a dropdown

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi everyone.  I am trying to filter the items available to a dropdown based on a users department.  I can get the items to show correctly on a gallery using :

 

Filter(NewTTDTestMultipleStores, 'D LOCATION' = Value(varUser.Department))

 

but I am struggling with the syntax to get the items to show in the dropdown.  The column I am trying to display is called GMDesc.

 

 

Thanks for the help everyone!

Chris

    Hi, it's not clear to me if you're trying to get the GMDesc value as part of the filer or in another place such as a table. If you want to get it as part of the filter you just need to add it at the end of the sentence. Something like First(Filter(NewTTDTestMultipleStores, 'D LOCATION' = Value(varUser.Department))).GMDesc

     

    Hope this will drive you in the right direction
