Working With Combo Boxes In Power Apps

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a SharePoint list where data is stored as comma separated values for a particular column.

Eg: Column name is 'Department' and the data is stored as Sales,Marketing for a particular user A.

In the application i have a combo box where i want the department values to be shown as individual items based on the user name selected from a combo box above.

How can i achieve this ?

Any help will be appreciated greatly.

Regards

Setup Combobox2 like this:

DefaultSelectedItems
Split(ComboBox1.Selected.Departments,”,”)

Items (must include every possible option)
[“Marketing”,”Sales”]

Have you tried my suggestion above?

If not, create a new ComboBox and insert the code I suggested in those properties.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try to put the following codes to Combo box Items property and DefaultSelectedItems property.

Split(First(Distinct(Filter(TableName,Country=CB_CountryNew.Selected.Result&& EmployeeEmail=VarUserEmail),'Project Department')).Result,",")

Modify Update property of Data Card to convert the selection to Text when submitting.

Left(Concat(CB_Department.SelectedItems,Result & ","),Len(Concat(CB_Department.SelectedItems,Result & ","))-1)

Test Result:

Hope this helps.
