Hi @dileeprajam 

In that case, please use the below expression:

Concat(Lookup(DataSource, Col1 = "Value1").MultiSelectColumnName, Email, ",")

Here, highlighted part needs to be replaced with the expression that returns the column value of a specific item. If this is inside gallery, replace the highlighted part with ThisItem.MultiSelectColumnName

Hope this Helps!

Assuming Employee is the name of your person or group column this code will give you a comma separated values list.

Concat(your_datasource_name,Employee.Email,", ")

Hi @dileeprajam ,

The Person or Group column entries are complex objects, hence you have a few replies on this, depending on what you're trying to do 🙂

You may need to navigate the object to a specific property in order to get to the email - as others have indicated you can achieve this using .Email as a property navigation of the object.

However, this only applies to single entry persons - each entry is a nested Table of properties, so navigating to one is easy enough.  If, however you are using multiple entries per row - then these are nested Tables within each row, and you'll need to iterate through all of them per row to get all entries in the column.

If it's just one entry per row, the previous responses should apply.

If it's multiple entries per row, then the question is, are you looking for all the entries in one row, or all the entries in all rows?

Assuming all entries in one row - and that your datasource is called "personlist" and your person column is "multipersons":

Concat(LookUp(personlist, rowcondition, multipersons), Email,",")))

Where rowcondition would be the condition you use to find your row - this will return the emails of all the persons in that row.

Assuming all entries in all rows - try set a Label Text: property to;

Concat(
    ForAll(
        ForAll(
            personlist,
            multipersons
        ),
        Concat(
            Value,
            Email,
            ","
        )
    ),
    Value,
    ","
)

The reason this looks so complicated is that for each row, we need to go through each multiperson entry for that row, and do this for all rows.  For connected datasources, also remember your row return and delegation limits may apply.

Hope this helps,
