  • 1.  Split data into a SharePoint from a Concat field within a form

    Hi,

    I'm using a Combobox for a people picker search (Office365Users)

    From the search criteria I'm using Concat in my form but I then want to save the data into SP on separate rows.  As i need to send Email out to these people and get approvals from each one that a task has been completed. At the moment its displaying the data in one row

    Is this possible??

    Regards

    Chris

    Did you want to create separate submissions or just 1 with multiple approvals? If different submissions, then you could use a Patch to the system to create new tasks from the 1 task. I am trying to think of a way for you to un-concat the field but it might be best if you just did not concat at all. How many emails will be selected? Is it a set number? If just 2-3 then it might be better to have different fields for those items and then patch the system using those unique fields. Maybe others can figure out a better way on that.

    If 1 with multiple approvals then I would recommend doing something like a repeating table - https://wonderlaura.com/2016/12/21/powerapp-galleries-repeating-tables/
    It is technically not a table but a separate list that is able to create multiple rows for 1 submission. I use this for comments on our task system since I want the user to only interact with 1 task but see all the comments entered.

    Hi,

    Thank for your reply.  

    I've rectified the issue by using the Split, For all, Patch process but the solution you have provided for repeating tables will assist with another issue I have

    Hello 

    I am using patch  Use the split to make new rows direcly 

    No1

    ForAll(
    Split(
    Concat(ComboColor.SelectedItems;Value;";");";");
    Collect(BoxColors;Result) ;;

    //Split cut it up in small values
    //dividing with semicolon

    Patch(tblMultipelRows; Defaults(tblMultipelRows);
    {

    Color: Result

    }

    )
    )

    No2 if the data is already in the SP list , this will take out multiple color choises and puit it in new columns but no dynamic cols

    And i patch it to a new sp list , where i use Powerautomate to run flows 

    tblSingelColorMultiCols;
    ForAll(
    tblMultiColorCol As wXL;
    With(
    {wColor: Split(wXL.Color;";")};
    {

    Color1: First(wColor).Result;
    Color2:
    With(
    {wCol2: Last(FirstN(wColor;2)).Result};
    If(!IsBlank(wCol2);wCol2)
    );
    Color3:
    With(
    {wCol3: Last(FirstN(wColor;3)).Result};
    If(!IsBlank(wCol3);wCol3)
    );
    Color4:
    With(
    {wCol4: Last(FirstN(wColor;4)).Result};
    If(!IsBlank(wCol4);wCol4)
    )
    }
    )
    )
    )
