Not getting the value from combobox from sharepoint list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 504

Hey Guys, I  am trying to get the value selected by Combobox. 

Dropdown1.Selected.Value

 I am getting values if the options from combobox are defined manually but when the options from the Combobox come from the Sharepoint list I am getting an error 'name isn't valid' the identifier isn't recognized. Also tried Dropdown.SelectedItems.Value and still the same.

    Hi @nagestiada, can you please share the formula on the Items property of your combobox? 

     

    Thanks

    @nagestiada ,

    Value references from drop-down and combo box controls depend on the Items property of the control.

    When you type Dropdown1.Selected. (note second dot), valid values will come up underneath. For some guidance of what they mean: -

    • If your Items are Choices(ListName.FieldName) - a Choices or Lookup field), the reference will be Dropdown1.Selected.Value
    • If they are Distinct( . . .  .), it will be Dropdown1.Selected.Result
    • The other option is when they are based on a field value in a list (other than Distinct), then it will be Dropdown1.Selected.FieldName (actual field name)

     

    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.

    Filter(MasterList,Role="Standard User")

    maybe it has got to do with the filter?

    @WarrenBelz I solved it by using Dropdown1.Selected.Value. Now I know the differences. Thanks!!!
