    @B-Pooja 

    Please try the following,

    Ungroup(
     Table(
     {DDOptions: Choices(yourSPList.columnName)},
     {DDOptions: ["Other"]}
     ),
     "DDOptions"
     )

    You can also look at this excellent article from @mdevaney for more info,

    Hi @CNT ,
    Thank you for your Quick response,
    I have an issue in this coding.
    Ungroup(
    Table(
    {DDOptions: Filter('SharePoint List',User().Email in AssignedTo.Email &&  
    Customer.Value=DataCardValue1.Selected.Value)},
    {DDOptions: ["Other"]}
    ),
    "DDOptions"
    )

    When I run this app, it shows blank value, Not Showing "Other" option.

    @B-Pooja If the following formula returns a multi-column table, try narrowing it down to one column.

    Filter('SharePoint List',User().Email in AssignedTo.Email &&  
    Customer.Value=DataCardValue1.Selected.Value)

    Hi @CNT ,
    I have customer data card value and Assigned task  drop down value.
    My scenario is,
    If customer selects a value , the assigned task drop down value lists based on
    1)  Selected Customer value related
    2) Current user's assigned task
    3) also shows "other"  option.

    How to narrowing into 1 column
    can you help me to resolve this issue @CNT 

    Thanks

    @B-Pooja Can you share in detail the contents of the Filter (how many columns, their names, datatypes etc.,) and the column that you want to be displayed in the DropDown.

    In Employee List Column fields
    1) Customer - Look up (Customer List).
                          Customer SharePoint list only have single column which have distinct customer names
    2) Assigned Tasks - Look up (Task List).

    In Task List SharePoint List Column Fields
    1) Manager Name - Person Data type
    2) Customer - Look up Data type from (Customer List)
    3) Assigned Tasks - Single Line of Text
    4) Assigned To - Person Field.

     

    In Power Apps Edit Form,
    Customer data card value => source data is Employee SharePoint List,
                                                    Column = Customer,  Data type Look Up Column.

    Assigned Tasks drop down = source data is "Task List" Share Point List,
                                                  Column = Assigned Task, Data type Single Line of Text.

    BPooja_1-1678712832497.png
    For Example, 
    In Task List,

    Manager NameCustomer Assigned TasksAssigned to
    Manager 1Customer 1Task 1Employee 1
    Manager 1Customer 2Task 2Employee 1
    Manager 2Customer 1Task 3Employee 2

    In customer data card value , when an Employee 1 select Customer 1
    In assigned task drop down it list "Employee 1 assigned task for the particular customer + Other option"

     CustomerAssigned Tasks
    When an employee 1Customer 1Task 1
      Other


    If you need any further clarification, kindly let me know @CNT 
    Thanks

    @B-Pooja 

    Please try the following (make sure List, Column names are correct),

    Ungroup(
    Table(
    {DDOptions: RenameColumns(ShowColumns(Filter('Task List',User().Email in AssignedTo.Email && Customer.Value=DataCardValue1.Selected.Value), "AssignedTasks"), "AssignedTasks", "Value")},
    {DDOptions: ["Other"]}
    ),
    "DDOptions"
    )
