Power App to two sharepoint lists

[dshrubb]

Ive got two sharepoint lists

1. ContactDetails - which is a generic sharepoint list I use to hold data for other purposes

2. StudentManagement -  this is a sharepoint list created to hold data from the completed power app form.

The idea is to have a form that we fill in to record data about a student that is stored in a sharepoint list called StudentManagement.  I have created an app that allows the user to select a student using cascading drop downs for the data entry. 

The year and student name comes from a sharepoint list called ContactDetails.  This list also has some related data that i want to include on the form and subsequently upload into the StudentManagement list. 

DataCardValue63 is the year  

DataCardValue66 is the student name

I have tried to create a Filter function to pull in the data, but can't get it to work.  I have done quite a bit of searching for help prior to posting this, but can't really modify solutions to suit.  Some help would be really appreciated.

Hi 
The code below would fix your issue

Filter(ContactDetails, StudentID = DataCardValue66.Selected.StudentID)

You were comparing ID to just the text so it wont work. Use the "Selected" instead of "SelectedText" so you have the option to pick the exact column you need to compare.

There might be typos in my code but that is the general idea
