[@RezaDorrani]

5 level cascading is a lot :) You would need to keep filtering the subsequent dropdown with the previous selection. There is a way and it depends on the scenario. Its not about 5 levels. Its more about how the data is structured in the backend.

You are genius! Btw, how did you put a color on the left side of each item in the list or where they are coming from?

I have used the Microsoft lists template. The colors you see are the SharePoint column formatting options which come as part of those templates. You can format columns, views and forms with those features. Check - kzbin.info/aero/PLTyFh-qDKAiE7C_2lVNAPzgHXsBykG0Tf

Have u got solution ,,??If so please say the solution

[@sarahdavies3582]

Hey Reza, I really would appreciate your help, I have followed this video to the letter, at 9min 42 when you make sure you select Value - mine has no option to select the column. I have been in circles - any tips how to get this resolved ?

[@RezaDorrani]

The dropdown list control has its items property coming from my SharePoint list. With the dropdown selected, in the properties pane on the right hand side you should get the option to select the Value.

[@arvindeleon4527]

Hi Rezza, just wondering what if both my field that will be used on the dropdown values are of "Single line of text" type? In your example you have Departments as a choice, in my case I have text type for both. Will that work? If yes, how could I make it work? Thanks!

[@RezaDorrani]

Yes, it will work. You can populate the data using Distinct function as shown in the video.

[@damselindisguise5357]

Is there a way to build a cascading dropdown where the values inputed will be displayed onto the sharepoint list?

[@RezaDorrani]

In this case the values selected will be displayed in SharePoint List. I dont know what inputted means. You want user to input cascading values? I do not have any video references on it. I will recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.

Hi Reza, how can this be done using Dataverse ?

You can use the sort function along with the Choices function.

While clicking the dropdown list it should display the selected text from the drop down .how could I do. pls help me out!!!

DROPDOWN.SelectedText should do it but depends on how you have configured the dropdown. I would recommend you post your issue/query with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com

Hi Reza, I'm trying to follow the Filter formula but I don't have the .Result but the available is .Value only.

[@RezaDorrani]

Because .Result got changed to .Value since I did this video years ago

[@PopoyTanke]

Hi, Reza hope You are ok, one question, I'm trying this same example, but when I get to the Department filter formula, it gives me a "incompatible types for comparison error". I already made sure the columns are the same as your example, but I cant find what is the problem. Any help is appreciated

Hi Zera, how.cam I add All item option to dropdown if current items are filter from list instead of a choices collection ? I can't make it

The items you filter from list, put it in a collection and then add the All option

Hi Reza. How did you customise your form to place it at the center. And when i share the access of the list to someone else, and when he clicks new the cascading drop-down doesn't appear. Thanks in advance

Hi Reza, I was successful with this; however, my distinct is pulling only values (sharepoint list column values) until C whereas I have until Z. Can you help me get all the distinct values

[@RezaDorrani]

Distinct is not a delegable function and there is no way around it as far as I know.
