Please try:

Set(LoggedUser,LookUp('User Entity',UserColumn=User().Email,TeamName) OnStart .

Then do this to filter:
Filter('Team Entity',TeamColumn=LoggedUser)

I am able to retrieve the current user -->teams

 

For example:

Karthick-->1.team A,team B

 

Now My issue is to find the other members who belong to this team A and team B

Hi @Anonymous 

Remember that an N:N relationships is actually two 1:N relationships with a junction table.  PowerApps creates the junction table automatically when you select a many to many relationship when building entities.  However, it is possible, and sometimes desirable to create your own junction entity and then use it in formulas that can describe both sides of the relationship.  For more information and an illustration, see my post https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/News-Announcements/Relational-Database-Principles-and-PowerApps-Step-3-Keys-and/ba-p/188640

@Drrickryp  Thank you for the quick response 

 

Junction table has been created in default understand.

 

Now I need to pull the other way round from the list of teams to the users.

I have the team list of user A

User A->team A,team B in a collection

 

Now I tried ForAll  to iterate one by one the team and retrieved Users for each team 

 

 

 

Ex:Team A->userA,User B

Team B ->user C,user D

But when i store in the collection it is empty

 

 

So As per your suggestion I need to create a custom entity which has relationship with team and user entity.

It is correct

 

Hi @Anonymous 

It looks like your issue is the same one illustrated in the documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/working-with-references .  Does this help?

@Drrickryp  Sure Ill go through the documentation and let you know

Hi @Anonymous 

So as not to confuse you, there are two ways to deal with this.  One is to use the built in N:N relationship between entities.  That is what is referred to in the documentation in the post above yours. It has the advantage of simplicity as PowerApps does all the work.

 

The other approach is to build your own junction entity.  This latter has the advantage that you can add additional fields specific for that relationship.  For example, the classic N:N relationship between Students and Teachers.  The junction could describe a Class that includes the grade the student gets or the location of the class, neither of which belongs in either of the other tables.
