I need to filter a dropdown list from the results of another dropdown list above it. I'm filtering personnel based on their respective agency, so when the user selects their Agency from the first dropdown list, the second dropdown list is only populated with Personnel from that Agency.
Agency and Personnel are two separate entities (tables) in the common data service (CDS).
So far I can get the list of Agencies from the CDS with
Filter(Agency, AgencyType = 9)
where [9] = the type of agency I'm filtering for.
I just can't get the list of people assigned to that agency to populate. I have tried:
ITEM: Filter(Personnel, ddAgency.Selected.Value in Personnel.AgencyID)
where ddAgency is the name of the referenced dropdown.
I am getting a single table error from PowerApps, so I guess it's my syntax. I'm trying to filter data and draw results based on values in 2 entities (tables).
Any suggestions?
You probably want something along the lines of
ddPersonnel.Items: Filter(Personnel, AgencyID = ddAgency.Selected.Value)
The expression used to filter the data source already assumes that you are in the context of the data source being filtered, so you don't need to specify Personnel.AgencyID - AgencyID is enough.
The expression on the right of the equality sign (ddAgency.Selected.Value) may need to be updated, if the column that has the agency id is not called Value. For example, if it's called Id, the expression would be the one below.
ddPersonnel.Items: Filter(Personnel, AgencyID = ddAgency.Selected.Id)
You can read this as "Filter the data source Personnel where the value of the AgencyID field is the same as the value of the Id of the Agency element selected in the dropdown ddAgency.

One of the fields contains ID of partner organisations. Wherever the field is populated it's one of the partner organisations. If the field is blank, it means it's the parent company. In my query, how can I populate the blank records with the ID of the parent company?
The only thing I found was to create an expression in a new field:
SELECT Valid_Learner.LearnRefNumber, Valid_Learner.FamilyName, Valid_Learner.GivenNames, Valid_Learner.DateOfBirth, Valid_Learner.Ethnicity, Valid_LearningDelivery.FundModel, Valid_LearningDelivery.PartnerUKPRN,
Replace([PartnerUKPRN],"","parentComanyID") AS UKPRN,
Valid_LearningDelivery.DelLocPostCode, Valid_LearningDelivery.LearnAimRef
FROM Valid_Learner RIGHT JOIN Valid_LearningDelivery ON Valid_Learner.LearnRefNumber = Valid_LearningDelivery.LearnRefNumber;
The new field ("UKPRN") should (for the purpose of this question) have the string "parentCompanyID" whenever it's blank in the PartnerUKPRN field.
The result is the UKPRN field displays IDs where the ID is present in the PartnerUKPRN field, but shows "#Error" where it's blank in PartnerUKPRN.
If "blank" means NULL, then you can use NZ() in MS Access:
NZ([PartnerUKPRN], "parentComanyID") AS UKPRN
This would be the "normal" way to write this logic. I don't know why REPLACE() would return an error.
I'm using Google sheets, and I want to get the data from one sheet to another where I want only the columns with count > 1.
Let's say we have 3 columns A, B, and C. I tried the following (the first sheet name is "Form Responses 1"):
I thought about using a query in the second sheet as: =query('Form Responses 1'!A1:Z, "Select A having count (A) >1 union select B having count (B) >1 union select C having count (C) > 1"). But I got a parse error where it seems that union and having are not supported in google sheets query.
How can I achieve this (whether it's using query or any other Google sheets function that can work)?
More details:
The first sheet contains info about exercises conducted during a lecture and it gets its data from a Google Form (so the responses are fed in this sheet). Here is a screenshot of it:
Please note that the form is divided into sections. When the user selects the course, the attendance, the participation, and adds a comment, then they go to the next section, the next section will be based on the selected course, the newly opened section will have the exercise name and rating questions (the exercise name is a dropdown list with items that are prefilled and specific to the selected course). That's why, you can see that "exercise name" and "rate the exercise" columns are repeated because we have 2 sections in this form.
The second sheet should contain the data of a selected course only (either mobile dev or web dev) which can be achieved easily through a query with a where clause. But, in addition to that, it shouldn't contain the empty columns of "exercise name" and "rate the exercise" as they correspond to another section. So, it should have only one exercise name column and one rating column that correspond to the selected course. Here is a screenshot if we only use a query with where clause without removing the extra name and rating columns:
Here is a screenshot with the desired result:
Thanks.
why not use just:
=QUERY('Form Responses 1'!A1:Z, "select A,B,C,D,E,F,G where F is not null", 1)
Use "OR" condition
Eg:-
QUERY(Data!A:R,"select A, N, P where N>0 or P>0")
where A column has country and N, P columns have population values
I have the following situation: List A has two columns (Name, Amount) and in List B (Name) I want to add a calculated column which should be the sum of all entries in List A that have the same name as in List B. Example:
List A:
NAME Amount
L0011 100
L0011 50
L0020 234
So in List B I want the calculated column to show:
NAME Amount
L0011 150
L0020 234
How can this be done? Workflow (as soon as I add/mod an entry in List A, update List B) or something else? Thanks
lem.mallari's answer is a huge pain unless you can assume that the Amounts in List A never change, since it's not tracking whether an item has already been added to the sum. There is no way for a Workflow to iterate through a SharePoint list, which means there is no easy way to calculate the sum or average of multiple list items.
The correct way to implement this will will require some development. The SharePoint Developer Training (2010, 2013) will actually get you most of the way there: an event receiver should trigger when items are added or changed in Lists A and B that uses SharePoint's API to go through List A and average values by Name, then update all (or just affected) items in List B. Alternatively, you can use JavaScript to display the sum of all entries in List A that have the same name as the item in List B as long as all the data is displayed on your page. If you're handy with XPath and InfoPath, you could add List A as a secondary data source to List B's form and select only applicable items in List A to sum from.
But if we're talking Workflows, here's the "workflow only" method. This was tested and successful in 2010. Create custom List C with the following columns:
Title (string, mandatory, enforce unique values)
TotalItems (integer, mandatory, default 0)
Sum (number, decimal places however you want, mandatory, default 0)
Average (calculated, =IF(TotalItems=0,0,Sum/TotalItems)) (optional)
Replace the Name columns in Lists A and B with lookup columns pointing at List C. Delete the Amount column in List B, instead including the Sum column as an additional column. Add the following columns to List A, and ensure that users cannot change them directly. This can be restricted by making InfoPath forms or by making alternative view and edit forms.
AmountArchive (number, identical to Amount, default 0)
AmountHasBeenSubmitted (yes/no, default no)
Create a Workflow to run each time an item is created or modified in List A. Use these commands (I'm using a list for readability; it was getting ugly when formatted as code):
If Current Item:Amount not equals Current Item:AmountArchive
Set Variable:Item Count to (Data source: List C; Field from source: TotalItems; Find the List Item: Field Title; Value: Current Item:Name(Return field as: Lookup Value (as Text)))
Calculate Variable:ItemCount plus 1 (Output to Variable: ItemCount)
Calculate List C:Sum (similar settings as above; be sure to use Lookup Value (as Text) and not String!) minus Current Item:AmountArchive (Output to Variable: SumWithoutValue)
Calculate Variable: SumWithoutValue plus Current Item:Amount (Output to Variable: NewSum)
If Current Item:AmountHasBeenSubmitted equals No
Set AmountHasBeenSubmitted to Yes
Update item in List C (Set TotalItems to Variable:ItemCount; Set Sum to Variable:NewSum; Find the List Item in the same way of Field:Title; Value: Current Item:Name(Return field as: Lookup Value (as Text))
Else
Update item in List C (don't do anything to TotalItems; use the same logic to set Sum to Variable:NewSum)
Set Amount to Current Item:AmountArchive
This can't be done using calculated columns because calculated columns can only be used for columns on the same list.
Using SharePoint Designer Workflows you can just use Create List Item and Update List Item actions so that whenever a user adds a value for L0011 the amount will be added in another list's column which contains the previous amounts already.
Let me know if you need a more detailed answer for the SharePoint approach and I'll provide you a step by step instruction on what to do.
What about using the DSum function? https://support.office.com/en-us/article/DSum-Function-08F8450E-3BF6-45E2-936F-386056E61A32
List B
NAME Amount
L0011 =DSum("[Amount]","List A","[NAME]=''" & [NAME] & "'")
L0020 =DSum("[Amount]","List A","[NAME]=''" & [NAME] & "'")
I have a contact form and one of the fields in a the form is a Contact_Type_ID. This field is a number field which also corresponds to a text field in another table (e.g. 1 = expatriate).
When I cycle through the contacts, their Contact_Type_ID is 1, 2, 3... instead of Non-profit, CEO, Vice-president, etc. This is a problem because one has no idea what number 3 means.
I would like to a combobox that only displays the corresponding text.
I can't get the two columns and 0;1 format to work. My hunch is that it's because I'm drawing information from two different tables. I can generate the correct list, but then the main entry doesn't change as I cycle through the contacts to reflect the current contact's [Contact_Type_ID].
I can't edit any of the current tables because I am supposed to apply this application to a much larger scale database.
I also tried setting the SQL for the row source:
'Populate the connection combo box '
Dim typeSQL As String
typeSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT Contacts.[ContactTypeID], Contact_Types.[ContactType] " & _
"FROM Contacts, Contact_Types " & _
"ORDER BY Contact_Types.[ContactType];"
Me.cbo_ContactType.RowSource = typeSQL
However, I then have the same problem: the combobox won't update as I cycle through the contacts. I don't understand the difference between the rowsource and the controlsource. I feel that this distinction might be key here.
Assuming I understand correctly:
In the combo box properties, go to the Data tab.
Set the Control Source to Contact_Type_ID.
This means that when you go through the records, the combo box will correspond to the Contact_Type_ID field from your data.
Set the Row Source to "SELECT Contacts.[ContactTypeID], Contact_Types.[ContactType] FROM Contacts, Contact_Types ORDER BY Contact_Types.[ContactType];"
The Row Source indicates the data that the combo box has access to, which will help it determine how to display the control source value.
Set the Bound Column to 1
Set Limit to List to Yes
Now in the Format tab. Change Column Count to 2.
Next set the column widths to the 0;1 you mentioned in your question.
Now try looking at form view, and it should behave as you expected.
If it does not work, create a new control with these instructions.
As I understand your question, you have a form with contacts based on a table Contacts and that table contains a field called either Contact_Type_ID or ContactTypeID. You wish to display the description of the contact type from a table Contact_Types.
You do not need to join tables for your combo, it should be very simple. The key, as you suspected, is the Control source, which is the property that relates one table to another.
Control source : ContactTypeID '' or Contact_Type_ID, choose from the list
Row source : SELECT ContactTypeID, ContactType FROM Contact_Types ORDER BY ContactType
Bound column : 1
Column count : 2
Column widths : 0,2
As an aside, you can join tables in a combo and still set the first column to 0 and it will still work, it is all in the correct set up.
i have two item in form it is---1 is textbox and 2nd is combo box.
now i have single value in textbox .
but there is a multiple value for a combobox with is totally depend on a value of textbox....
*i am already add data to the backend files ... in which 1 columns that is called column A it's value is for textbox and 2 column that is called column B it's value for combo box *
When i write in textbox it's dependent ALL value can be get in the combo box.
Can any one solve my problem... It is a row vice search.....
I used a Ms Access for my backend......
How i can create a table that can be i used for a my problem
Give me any reference or codes.
This is probably Category->Product kind of scenario, where ONE Category can have ONE or MORE Products,
Category "Softdrink" can have Products("Coke","Pepsi" etc.)
Category "Harddrink" can have Products("8 PM","BP",etc.)
So when u will put "Softdrink" in your textbox then you want to get the relevant products for it. (Assumed you are using TextChange event)
SQL - select Product.Name from Category Inner Join Product On Category.Id= Product.Category_Id where CategoryName ="Softdrink"
and table structure would be like,
