I have a SharePoint list with called Service Areas and Directors with 2 Columns: DirectorList & Team

The DirectorList column specifies the category which each Team sits within. I am trying to create a PowerApps customization for the New and Edit forms to allow me to select the Director and in my first drop-down list and then select Team from a filtered list of those reporting to that Director from the second.

To this end I have created 2 Text Columns called ServiceDirector and ServiceAreaTeam. These are in a list view and the list form has been customized with PowerApps.

The ServiceDirector datacard has had the text control replaced with a dropdown list called ServiceDropdown3. The 'Update' field contains the following: ServiceDropdown3.Selected.Result

The Items field of ServiceDropdown3 contains the following: Sort(Distinct('Service Area and Directors'.DirectorList, DirectorList), Result, Ascending)

The ServiceAreaTeam datacard has had the text control replaced with a dropdown list called ServiceDropdown4. The 'Update' field contains the following: ServiceDropdown4.Selected.Team

The Items field of ServiceDropdown4 contains the following: Filter('Service Area and Directors',Team=ServiceDropdown3.Selected.Result)

When published the App produces no errors and the first drop down functions as expected, producing a selectable list of Directors with no duplications. The second dropdown remains blank.

Why does the second list not produce a filtered list of teams reporting to that director, as expected?

The formula used on DataCard.Update validates and pushes back into the data source only when SubmitForm runs, but not when the form is being filled. So I don't think this is the property you should use.

I tried to duplicate your form structure, but I got a bunch of errors on formulas. Would you provide screenshots of the form and your list for clarification?

Also, I think you will need a second list for cascading to work. Here is sample reference in case you need it: Cascading Dropdowns in PowerApps SharePoint Lookups.
