    Change the Text property of the multi value choice column to something like:

     

    Concat( ThisItem.'multi-value-choice', Value &"; ")

     

    This will separate the array that is your choice column into a string separated by a ;

    @newk1991 

    All the multi-choice columns worked except this "File Format" column.

    This is a choice column and doesn't accept multiple values as is configured in SharePoint. Do i configure it any differently for Power Apps?

    Also the SP list properties of this column may help- please check below:-
