Return the index number of an item in a list

Hello!

I am trying to create a dynamic text box that displays the nth number of an item in a list. The item that we want to evaluate is given by a drop-down input.

Example:

List of numbers:
5, 3, 2, 1, 1.

Drop-down input=2.

I want a dynamic text box to return “3” since number 2 (selected in the drop-down input) is the 3rd item in the list.

I would appreciate any help to do this. Thanks in advance!

Do a search for: Numbers:Item#(Dropdown’s value)

hi @robert , is there a way to find INDEX number of a specific item in a List Field ?

For ex. - There are 2 lists : List A (Case-Numbers) & List B (Dates). Now, we want to check ‘Case_Number’ from List A, & then Fetch its ‘Date’ from List B. How can this be done?

I’m trying to do this to. It doesn’t seem like you can, which is absolutely absurd.

Here’s how you can get the index of an item in a list:

Thanks for the response Adam.

Here is an image of programming of the functionality.

While this does work, it’s absolutely insane that this workaround is the only way to do this. This should be a default, built in function.
