Combining Two collections

[CP0822]

Hi guys,

Let's say I have the following scenario. What I need is a third collection but combining the two collections like this. Any ideas of how to achieve this? These are completely independent collections, I can't use a lookup formula and these two collections will always have 1 column and the same number of rows.

Thanks

Collection 1

A

B

C

Collection 2

1

2

3

Collection 3

A	1
B	2
C	3

Hi @CP0822 ,

I am assuming you want to combine these simply in the order that are currently set in?

Hi Warren @WarrenBelz 

Yes, I need to combine them in their current order

Hi @CP0822 ,
Firstly as you will see below, this is not straight-forward  - I will give you my entire test code - you will not need the top two bits as they are simply making the two test collections, but one thing you should take away from it is to not have your field names called "Value" as you need this elsewhere in the code.

//These are the two test collections
ClearCollect(
   col1,
   {Field1: "a"},
   {Field1: "b"},
   {Field1: "c"},
   {Field1: "d"},
   {Field1: "e"}
);
ClearCollect(
   col2,
   {Field2: 11},
   {Field2: 12},
   {Field2: 13},
   {Field2: 14},
   {Field2: 15}
);

//Now add a row number to the first
Clear(col1A);
With(
   {wList: col1},
   ForAll(
      Sequence(CountRows(wList)),
      Collect(
         col1A,
         Patch(
            Last(
               FirstN(
                  wList,
                  Value
               )
            ),
            {RowNo1: Value}
         )
      )
   )
);

//now add a row number to the second
Clear(col2A);
With(
   {wList: col2},
   ForAll(
      Sequence(CountRows(wList)),
      Collect(
         col2A,
         Patch(
            Last(
               FirstN(
                  wList,
                  Value
               )
            ),
            {RowNo2: Value}
         )
      )
   )
);

//Now combine them into a third collection
Clear(col3);
Collect(
   col3,
   AddColumns(
      col1A,
      "OtherField",
      LookUp(
         col2A,
         RowNo2 = RowNo1
      ).Field2
   )
)
