Posted on by GrahamD

I have 3 SharePoint lists. And would like to use a combo box to present a list of equipment. Struggling to set a variable OnStart And having no luck .

1st SP list has equipment by # for all depatments, and another column with the department name, that the equipment belongs

2nd SP list had People, With a column for employee ID, and a column for the department name, that the people belong.

3rd SP list has O365 User info with employee ID.

In the combobox on the 1st screen, The user should should only be presented with the equipment from their department. On the ComboBox, I will use a filter with the varUserDepartment to filter list1.

Please help.

Hi @GrahamD ,

Please add this code onStart of the APP:
ClearCollect(collDepartments,Filter(SpLst2,employeedID=Office365Users.MyProfileV2().id)) Forall(collDepartments, Clearcollect(collEquipments,Filter(SPList1,departmentlist1column=departmentincollectioncolumn))
Now for the combo box:
distinct(collEquipments.Equipmentnumber)

I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.

ClearCollect(collDepartments,Filter(List2,employeedID=Office365Users.MyProfileV2().id))
Forall(collDepartments,
Clearcollect(collEquipments,Filter(List1,departmentlist1column=departmentincollectioncolumn))

I'm having no luck. I wasn't working with collections prior to this. I don't find that any collections are created. Errors in the underlined portion.

Thank you for your help

@KrishnaVbefore trying Collect, I was using Set Variable. And then was attempting to set a filter on the Combo Box to filter the List1 by varUserDepartment. I thought this would be best to do on start because list1 is more than 10,000 rows long.

Set(varUserDepartmentUIC,List2.Department=LookUp(List2.Department=LookUp(List3.UserEmail=User().Email).EmployeeID).Department)

No luck and errors here also

Thanks,
Graham

Hi @GrahamD ,

Set(varEmpID,LookUp(List3,O365Email=varUser.Email).EmployeeID2); Set(varDepName,LookUp(List2,EmployeeID = varEmpID).Department);
For combo box, Items:
Distinct(Filter(List1,Department = varDepName).'Admin#','Admin#').Result
