Using forall to collect the data

[BKGOUD]

Hi All,

 I have a collectionA which is having Name and ID columns. I'm populating a combobox with Names by using(collectionA)  and it was enabled for selecting multiple items.

Here i have to collect the data forall the Names with corresponding ID.

ClearCollect(MyCalendarNames,combobox.SelectedItems.DisplayName);

ForAll(collectionA.Name,

ClearCollect(collectionX ,Filter(Office365Outlook.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(
LookUp(collectionY,DisplayName in MyCalendarNames.Name).ID,
Text(DateAdd(dpkFrom.SelectedDate,-1,Hours),UTC),
Text(DateAdd(dpkTo.SelectedDate,1,Days),UTC)).value));

Can someone help me on this.

I did a POC on your requirement.

On App start, I created a collection as below:

ClearCollect(colIDNames,Table({ID:1,DisplayName:"A"},{ID:2,DisplayName:"B"},{ID:3,DisplayName:"C"},{ID:4,DisplayName:"D"},{ID:5,DisplayName:"E"}))

Placed a combo box on the screen and its Items property set to colIDNames.DisplayName.

On change property of the combo box, I placed following formula to get all the names and IDs:

ClearCollect(colNames, Filter(colIDNames,DisplayName in cbNames.SelectedItems))

With above formula, you will get only the selected items.

Please check and let me know if you can use it to resolve your issue.

Hi @rsaikrishna ,

Thanks for helping me.

The solution which you have shared works fine. I need help  on the below code.

ForAll(collectionA.Name,

ClearCollect(collectionX ,Filter(Office365Outlook.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(
LookUp(collectionY,DisplayName in MyCalendarNames.Name).ID,
Text(DateAdd(dpkFrom.SelectedDate,-1,Hours),UTC),
Text(DateAdd(dpkTo.SelectedDate,1,Days),UTC)).value));

which was returning single record eventhough if we morethan 1 Name in collectionA.Name.

@BKGOUD 

In your ForAll, you are using ClearCollect which is clearing the collection for every item in collectionA.Name loop.

You may need to use Collect in the place of ClearCollect.

Give a try and let me know if this helps.

Hi @rsaikrishna ,

I have tried by removing Clear but no luck.

We have multiple names with corresponding ID.

collectionA: 

Name	ID
ABC	001
XYZ	002

collectionB: 

Name	ID
ABC	001
XYZ	002

ForAll(collectionA.Name,

Collect(collectionX ,Filter(Office365Outlook.GetEventsCalendarViewV2(
LookUp(collectionY,Name in collectionB.Name).ID,  // Here im using LookUp and returns same ID eachtime. 
Text(DateAdd(dpkFrom.SelectedDate,-1,Hours),UTC),
Text(DateAdd(dpkTo.SelectedDate,1,Days),UTC)).value));
