In the New Responsive designer in o365 is it possible to connect a variable to a column? If not how can I write the output of a userProfileLookup, based on a people control on the form, to a column e.g.

 

The form has a control called:

 

[People Field 1]

 

User profile lookup gets the Department property of that people field:

 

userProfileLookup([Form].[People Field 1],"Department")

 

I want to write that value to a column and I can't appear to do that with a variable or a label.

 

Just seen Euan's video which deals with this. The short answer is I need to create a rule.

 

  • Create a variable called varUserDept as follows:
userProfileLookup([Form].[People Field 1],"Department")
  • I have a control on my form called UserDept
  • Then create a rule:
If [People Field 1] does not equal [blank]
Then [UserDept] value [varUserOffice]
Else [UserDept] value [blank]
