Shane you are an amazing resource! I spent hours trying to figure out how to have an Edit form field autofill based on another field in the form. 5 minutes of watching this video and Edit form is now working as expected.

Hi Shane, I love your videos. They're really helpful!! One question on this one. If I wanted to change the person in the in the People picker field, how would I write that back to the record?

Hi Shane, thanks again for a great and very useful video that I revisited today. You got me halfway to the solution of my problem. In my case I am replacing an Access database frontend with SharePoint lists as the backend that has a large number of related tables. As it is a properly designed database (I made it myself😉) it uses unique auto increment key fields to define the references. So instead of writing the Title fields back from the drop-downs. I need to write back the reference key values. However when doing that the key value disappeared when saving the record. It is no-use making the drop-down show the key values as the user cannot relate to these. I solved the problem by patching the key value back based on the on-change property of the dropdown back to the key field and overlayed the dropdown with a text field looking up the Title based on the key value. I hope this makes some sense to you and maybe there is a better way of doing this, but I thought that there may be other people having the same problem as there are still a lot of Access databases out there. As for me MS Acces and VBA are still more comfortable I sometimes struggle with the PowerApps although with the help of your video’s I have already made some 15 PowerApps based on the MS Access data.

Thanks for answering my question, Shane. Not sure if that is exactly what I meant, but on the upside, I've got a collection named after me! :-)

​@@ShanesCows Sorry Shane, I didn't manage to describe the entire use case in a tweet. :-) What I'm aiming at achieving is this: When a user presses a button, a Patch command updates the status of a number of items in a SharePoint library (Library A). At the same time, I need to patch one or more items in SharePoint list (List B), where Column C in Library A equals Column G in the List B. The information to update column Z in the list with comes from a dropdown (dropdown.selected.value).

Hi Shane. Great video tutorials. Learned a lot!!! Question - I have three galleries (Categories, Topics, and SubTopics) all pointing to their associated tables. There is a key on each so I can filter accordingly. Once I select a Category row, I want the first item to be automatically selected from the Topics gallery which then automatically filters out the SubTopics gallery. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get this cascading gallery model to work. Although I can highlight the first item in the second gallery, I can't seem to invoke the 'on select' command. Thoughts?

Great video examples thank you! Hope you can do the similar video with custom page(Canvas style) for Model-Driven, particular dropdown that not come with Insert Input box.

Hey Shane, nice demo. I'm new to SP and Power Apps, Forms, and Lists, all things Sharepoint. I'm looking for a way to connect a prospect's form entry of County to a territory representative. Georgia has 159 counties and we have divided the state into six territories. So when a new prospect submits our initial interest form, they enter their state(typically Georgia) and their county both in separate drop-down lists, along with their name, phone number, email address, etc. How can I create the SP Flow to send an email to the prospect with information that includes the territory representative's contact information and an email to the territory representative with information on the prospect using Flow effectively. I look forward to your positive response.

I've tried and tried and this isn't working for me. I think the Distinct on the 2 dropdowns, doesn't allow the 3rd field (text label) to see the 3rd value. I have a lookup table with 3 columns, Office, System and Approvers. On the form I have have dropdowns for the Office and System field with Items set to Distinct(SystemLkp, Office) and Distinct(SystemLkp, System) and a text label that i want populated with Approvers based on both dropdown selections. I tried a lookup and failed.

Hey Shane, I'm having trouble replicating this when my datasource is a sharepoint list. Specifically at this point- kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4VsrpSBaMbWddI.html, it wont let me specify the column! The error it returns is "Name isn't valid (Column Name) isn't recognize." Is there a different way to do this using a List as a datasource? Edit: I figured out my problem. Lists do work absolutely normally, my issue was I was feeding my list through the "Distincts" function. Distincts returns a table of only the distinct entries from the specified column of the datasource, it meant my dropdown was not populating an entire record- it was populating a single entry from a single column generated from the list.

I swear all his videos are so confusing. Nothing in my Powerapps has ever worked how he gets his to work. I create a dropdown and literally NONE of my dropdowns in my Sharepoint populate to connect to the dropdown display. Only text...that defeats the purpose of a dropdown/choice column. So, in order to do this I have to create a random text field with the values I want to populate in a dropdown list. Which makes no sense.

For your Dropdown you should set the Items property to Choices(ListName.ColumnName) then it will show you the Value property which is the text of all of your Choices from the column. In my example data I use Choices(Employees.FavoriteColor) Because Employees is my list name and FavoriteColor is my column name. Then I see Red, Blue, etc in the list of dropdown options.
