We have a multiple-choice field Favorite sports with the following choice values:

Soccer	5	x

Basketball, Dancing, Sailing, and Soccer are selected.

numbers(Status)

Result: [1,3,4,5]

numbers(myDynMultiChoice) To return the record IDs of the selected choice values of a given dynamic multiple choice field.

numbers('Favorite sports')

In this example, Favorite sports is a dynamic choice field that refers to the Sports table.

You can change dynamically table views based on the selection of your dynamic choice field.

The following script is to be added to the formula field of the table view.

let dChoiceIds := numbers('My Dynamic Multi Choice');
for employee in select Employees do
	for id in dChoiceIds do
		if id = number(rec.Id) then employee end
	end
end

Result: You see the records of the employees in the table view that are selected in the dynamic multiple choice field.
