    Filter a Multi Selection List based on a SharePoint Multi Value Lookup column

    Hoping someone can advise a relative newbie to InfoPath. We are using SharePoint 2013 and InfoPath 2013. I have created 2 custom lists in SharePoint as described below

    Profiles List                                                                                    Groups List

    Title  (text)                                                                                    GroupDef   (text)                                         Profile (Lookup column to Profiles List "title" column & multi value)

    RPL BASIC USER                                                                        RPL Basic | Basic Read only access           RPL BASIC USER; RPL ENGINEER; RPL PROCUREMENT STARTER; RPL CRAFTSPERSON

    RPL CRAFTSPERSON                                                                RPL SC MORNING MEETING                    RPL BASIC USER; RPL ENGINEER; CONTRACT SUPERVISOR

    RPL ENGINEER                                                                           RPL SC Maint                                              RPL CRAFTSPERSON; RPL ENGINEER

     

    Within the InfoPath form, I have a drop down box connected to the Profiles list that brings back the full list of profiles. Underneath the drop-down is a list box connected to the Groups list via Data Connection that returns the Groups that are part of the selected profile using a filter ("Profile Value" = Drop-down value) on the GroupDef field in the list. This works fine and the correct groups are returned and displayed in the listbox based on the profile drop-down.

    The problem I am having is I wish to add a multiple selection list along side the existing controls that displays a list of groups that are not part of the profile already, or not listed in the listbox control. I cannot get any kind of filter to work and am hoping someone could suggest a workable solution within InfoPath. Reversing the filter used on the listbox to "Profile Value" not equals Drop-down does not return the correct results, and think it's because of the multi value nature of the field, it is seeing only the first value. Any help appreciated!
