I created a custom function in Power Query that takes 3 parameters. I was able to use Documentation.AllowedValues to create a drop down list of hard coded allowed values for the first parameter, "Namespace".
I was also able to successfully create a drop down list of allowed values that is the result of a query to make the list dynamic.
There is actually data in the source system that provides a full list of availale namespaces, services, and business objects. Rather than make the user type out a specific service and business object value, I was wondering if it is possible to return a list of allowed values in each parameter based on the selections made in other parameters.
For example, there is a table in the data source that looks like this:
| Namespace | Service | BusinessObject |
| Erp | Service1 | BO1 |
| Erp | Service1 | BO2 |
| Erp | Service1 | BO3 |
| Erp | Service2 | BO4 |
| Erp | Service2 | BO5 |
Ice | Service3 | BO6 |
Ice | Service3 | BO7 |
Is it possible to set up the allowed parameter values so that if I select "Erp" for the Namespace parameter, it uses a query for the allowed values for the Service parameter to dynamically return only "Service1" and "Service2" as the allowed values? Then if I select "Service1" for the Service parameter, it uses a query for the allowed values for the Business Object parameter to dynamically return only "BO1", "BO2" and "BO3" as the allowed values?
Hey @Anonymous ,
How did you manage to get the Dynamic List?
Can you share an example, please?
Thank you
Hi @Anonymous ,
By my research, haven't found the exact way, please see if this document helps.
Additionally, @Vijay_A_Verma is an expert in PowerQuery. @Vijay_A_Verma, would you like to see if you have encountered this kind of problem? Thanks in advance!
