I’d like to be able to add rows for every unique combination available where feature can be associated to multiple products and releases. I’m getting stuck with a nested foreach and even using if condition is unable to match values. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You can then also improve it by omitting the combinations you already have, so that you can click it again when you add something, i.e. replace the Result.AddRow(...) part with
If(
Result.Any(
CurrentValue.Product = P
AND CurrentValue.Feature = F
AND CurrentValue.Release = R
),
_Noop(), // do nothing
// otherwise do the Result.AddRow(...)
)
P.S. In this code, P, F, R will be row references (not just text values) so columns in the result table should be single-select Relations to respective tables.
It’s kind of tricky to have 3 nested loops but nested loops from look up tables may not work.
I am looping Products, Releases column values within Features table only because they should match the row contents. Still trying to figure out as well.
Yeah, I got your scenario. You didn’t just want all possible combinations from all tables — but only use the products and releases selected for that feature.
For that you just put Features on the outer loop, and replace Products and Releases respectively with F.Products and F.Releases (i.e. not all rows from the table Products, but only the selected ones for that F currentvalue feature).
Also I saw you wanted to include rows with empty selection if nothing was selected for either a product or a release — this can be achieved by telling Coda to use a list of one blank value if the original list is blank, i.e. instead of F.Products.ForEach(...) use F.Products.IfBlank(List("")).ForEach(...)
Here’s the full code:
Features.ForEach(CurrentValue.WithName(Feature,
// For each product OF THAT FEATURE:
Feature.Products.IfBlank(
// If the list itself is blank (i.e. 0 products) fake up a list of one blank value
List("")
).ForEach(CurrentValue.WithName(Product,
// For each year OF THAT FEATURE
Feature.Releases.IfBlank(
// (or a blank item if no releases):
List("")
).ForEach(CurrentValue.WithName(Release,
// If there's already such combination, do nothing, otherwise add row
If(
Result.Any(
Feature = Feature
AND Product = Product
AND Release = Release
),
_Noop(),
Result.AddRow(
Result.Feature, Feature,
Result.Product, Product,
Result.Release, Release
)
)
))
))
))
There’s still one thing that can be improved. This will add rows like these when there’s no product or no release for a feature:
but will not remove them once there is a product or a release. If you need that, let that be your own homework
