Dataverse Multi Choice Columns in PowerApps

We have been working with PowerApps, PowerApps and Dataverse and now I thought of sharing a few tips to ease your work if you are new to PowerApps + Dataverse as a combination.

I will be sharing a few more tips in my upcoming blogs but to get started, Let’s take Multi Choice Columns this time.

Unlike SharePoint or any other data source, Dataverse Multi choice columns are different so basically, I cannot go to my PowerApp and directly print selected value in a label.

So, this is how you can show multi choice values in label.

You need to use concat that allows to concat multiple selection. PowerApps has concat function that takes.

Concat function syntax : Concat( Table, Formula )

In my case I am trying to render a multi choice column values into a vertical gallery webpart. I have added a label control to a vertical gallery and then added below code.

Concat(ThisItem.ColumnName,Value & "")

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

Business Data Connectivity

I came to a requirement wherein I was supposed to get data from an 3 rd party portal using API’s and then bring them to SharePoint server. The first approach that I finalized was just to make BDC solution that will get data from 3 rd party portal and will deploy it to SharePoint. How to Create BDC solution in SharePoint? I found below link that is having really great description about hot to create and deploy the BDC solution to SharePoint. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/uploadfile/hung123/creating-business-data-connectivity-service-using-visual-studio-2010/ After creating an POC I came to know that BDC model cannot be deployed on Multi tenant farm. So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...
