How to lookup a SharePoint People field with multiple selections

Hi,

 

I can't figure out how to create a new column with a lookup of a SharePoint people field with mutiple selections.

 

I use the following formula but it returns only the first value.

Name = LOOKUPVALUE('User Information List'[Title],'User Information List'[Id],'Final Documents'[Autor(s)Id])
 
There's a way to return all values with a semicolon delimiter?
 
Thank you!

Hi @ITBeard ,

Please consider adding a custom column to the PowerQuery Editor.

= Text.Combine(Table.SelectRows(#"User Information List",(x)=> List.Contains(Text.Split([#"Autor(s)Id"],";"),x[Id]))[Title],";")

Note that the data types of the id columns in the two tables need to be the same, otherwise they need to be converted to be consistent in the code.

Hi @ITBeard ,

Please create a calculated column.

Name = 
CONCATENATEX (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        DISTINCT ( 'User Information List'[Title] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'User Information List' ),
            'User Information List'[Id] = 'Final Documents'[Autor(s)Id]
        )
    ),
    'User Information List'[Title],
    ","
)

Hi!


In your example, you have multiple names with the same ID in table "User Information List" but it is not exactly my problem.

 

In my case, I have multiple IDs delimited by semicolon in Autor(s)Id (Final Documents) table and I try to create a new column that will convert those IDs in Names delimited by semicolon with Id of "User Information List". There's only one name per Id in "User Information List" Table 

I hope you can find a solution for me 🙂

Thank you!!
