I have the following scenario in a list which I imported from an Excel document, let's call it "Clients". All the values are made up in order to mimic the data I'm trying to manipulate. :
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C COLUMN D
Name of company Company ID Location City
Company A S12345 Kitchen Stockholm
Company A S12787 Auditorium Karlstad
Company A S17474 Front desk Enskede
Company A S88787 Restrooms Karlskoga
Company B S88477 Hall B Stockholm
Company B S87437 Hall C Stockholm
Company B S74367 Hall D Stockholm
Company C S34876 West wing Båstad
Company C S74398 East wing Malmö
etc...
In column A is a list with non-unique values that are duplicated based on the number of locations our service workers have registered in Column C. Each specific area ha sits own Order ID, represented in column B.
This is what I am am trying to achieve with this data.
1. A service worker creates a new object in SharePoint (A new Workorder is created with the click of button on the start page)
2. The first input field is the company. As the technician types the name of the company, I want the results to auto-populate based on the data being entered. I want the company name to only show up once in the results (and not more frequently as defined in the "Clients" document.
3. In the next step I want a drop-down menu with the automated results based on our first selection. Ie) Company is located > show results from Column B based on company name (Column A).
INPUT: Company A
Autopopulate dropdown selection:
S12345
S12787
S17474
etc
4. Ideally, the technician should also be able to type in the client nr and autopopulate the corresponding values to that data. Ie) Technician writes S12345 in the input field for "Company ID" and the corresponding or absolute values for That specific ordernumber will autopopulate (Name, location and city).
I really appreciate your help with this. I hope there is a SharePoint wizard who reads this.
All the best,
Seb

@akermnans2 you won't be able to do this with SharePoint on its own but can achieve what you want with Power Apps. with your SharePoint list as the data source. I would suggest a standalone app rather than a customised form. If you haven't used Power Apps before there are some very good videos on YouTube, particularly those by Shane Young.
