ComboBox searching by Barcode Scanner

[Stylead]

hello there, 

I have an inventory app and want to scan shelf location instead of finding the location in ComboBox ( choice column )

I used this code but it seems not working:

{Value: Coalesce(Parent.Default,ThisItem.Shelf)}

when I scan it gives nothing.

something is missing 😅

Hi @Stylead ,

I am assuming you are testing for something in the scanner

{
   Value: 
   Coalesce(
      ScannerName.Value,
      ThisItem.Shelf
   )
}

Hi @Stylead ,

Is Shelf a Choice field - if so

Coalesce(
   BarcodeScanner1_2.Value,
   ThisItem.Shelf.Value
)

@Stylead ,

I tested the code here on a barcode scanner, a combo box and a choice field as below and received the results expected

What are you doing different?

Thanks a lot, my bad I used your code like this :

Coalesce(
   BarcodeScanner1_2.Value,
   ThisItem.Shelf.Value
)

the right one was like the photo you sent:

{
   Value: 
Coalesce(
   BarcodeScanner1_2.Value,
   ThisItem.Shelf.Value
)
}
