    Filtering a dropdown list

     Hi,

     

    I have 3 SharePoint lists which are being used for data sources. I am creating an InfoPath form that allows player to be assigned to teams and this data sent to list 3.

    - List 1 - Players Name

    - List 2 - Players Team

    - List 3 - Player and Team

    The idea is that once a player has been allocated then that player shouldn't be available. On the InfoPath form I have 2 drop lists, Player list and Team. I would like to create a filter on the player list to filter out any players that have already been picked. So I have created a data source for the players drop down list and then created a filter which looks at List 1 and 3 and compares the two lists. The issue is that if I use the "equals to" filter then all players show up. The "not equal to" option is shows all players

    If I use the Player field from List 3 data source "not present" filter then the  drop down is empty.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Dhiran.

    The dropdown on the filter dialog should give you the option of matching "any occurrence". Just set the condition to that and you should be in business.
