Lookup column in SharePoint - list

I have 2 lists in SharePoint namely Clients with client info and Visits where they log a visit. I want the Visit list to pull the contact number which is a required field from the Client list using lookup.
I have created a PowerApps application for the lists. However, when I add a record in the App it doesnt update all fields in the SharePoint list instead it shows a message 'Required info'.
But when I add a record on the SharePoint side it works fine and updates the app.
How can I solve this so that all fields appear in the list when added in the App?

Is there any direct way to accomplished or it requires a connector between them?
I don't see any direct way but a solution could be to write a PowerShell script or some sort of console app that executes on a schedule and consumes graph API endpoint to get users information and populates a particular (custom) list in your SharePoint site. Then you can create a lookup column in desired list that looks up user information in your users list.

Survey may not suit your case.
Because the rating/grading functionality would be very difficult to address with Surveys. I'd also recommend you to create ASP.NET pages, but create them as application pages.

After creating this page just deploy to _LAYOUTs and call this page into your web part page. I've a different thought of using PageViewer web part. Do not use page viewer webpart for this kind of quiz functionality. If you have a single plain vannila page, you can go for page viewer web part. Quiz would be a full-blown ASP.NET web application. Its' better to deploy that as application page instead of a page viewer web part approach.

Sharepoint 2010, calling the external webservice without using workflow

I am very new to the SharePoint platform, and I need an insight as how can I achieve the following.
I need to call an external Webservice from Sharepoint(2010), without using workflow feature.
When the Webservice returns the data, I need to use one of value as a filter for an existing List.
e.g. Webservice returns user's department. I need to capture that department and use it a filer for an already existing List that displays information for all the departments. I need the List to display the information only for the department returned by the Webservice.
It may be possible to have your web service return the data as an external content type (BCS). That can then be used in an out of the box filter on a page. I do something similar with a client ID using the picker box from SP to select the item from the external source and then filter other web parts on the page.

How do I join a List View Web Part to the List View Web Part for the Tasks associated with that list?

In SharePoint Designer 2010, I am trying to show three list view web parts on a page. The three views are of a list (for example, Key Requests), the workflow items associated with that list and then the tasks associated with that list. I want to be able to click on a item in the list and it refreshes the workflow and task list view web parts. I am able to connect the workflow items to the list by joining the list item ID to the Primary Item ID field on the workflow list (under Managing Connections). But connecting the list item to the task items seems a little more difficult. Does anyone know how to do this?

Dynamic view on SharePoint List

I want to create a dynamic view on my list. The list is filtered based on the current users' information coming from an external database i.e. based on which user is logged in, a value is fetched from external database and based on that value i want my SharePoint list to be filtered.
How can i do this. I am newbie in SharePoint. Any help would be really great.
Thanks
One way to do this is to implement your own custom Filter Provider web part.
The Filter Provider gets the current user ID, finds whatever info you need from your DB and then passes the filter onto the List View that displays the data.
