Hi,

I have a modern combo box in my app.

The values are "invisible" however I can select the values.

my items property contains a distinct - Distinct([@'Scheduling List_Utilization'],field_1)

according to this - https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Combo-Box-items-not-visible-text-not-showing/m-p/925364#M293646

distinct values are not liked by combo box. My distinct list contains maybe 1500 values.

Anything can be done here?

HI @wonka1234, Once you write down this code on Items property combo box, then in the field it will be Value not the actual column name as shown below:
Distinct('Scheduling List_Utilization',field_1)

@wonka1234 , Can you confirm on the screenshot that provided? Also what is data type of column? The Items should be this:
Distinct('Scheduling List_Utilization',field_1)

@wonka1234 , This is what it will have just Value:
