ComboBox not showing Values

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hey there,

 

I am pretty new to power apps and I try to setup my first app.

 

I got an app where the data comes from a few sharepoint lists and I try to fill them into Dropboxes and Comboboxes. It all works great so far until I tried to filter duplicates out of an Combobox.

 

The code looks as follow:

If(Checkbox1.Value = false, (Filter(Assistants, Department = DropdownDepartment.Selected.Result)), Distinct( Assistants,'Display Name'))

 

As soon as I check the checkbox1 it just shows empty rows. But I think the number of the rows could be the amount of Names I could expect.

 

When I am using following code, it works and show just the same name multiple times (what I am trying to prefent)

If(Checkbox1.Value = false, (Filter(Assistants, Department = DropdownDepartment.Selected.Result)), Assistants.'Display Name')

 

Thanks in advance and have a nice day

Daniel

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you want to display the 'Display Name' column value from Assistants List within the ComboBox?

     

    Based on the formula that you mentioned, I think there is something wrong with it. I have made a test on my side, please consider modify your formula as below (set the Items property of ComboBox to following😞

    Distinct(
     Filter(
     Assistants, 
     If(
     Checkbox1.Value = false,
     Department = DropdownDepartment.Selected.Result,
     true
     )
     ),
     'Display Name'
    )

     

    Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,

    @v-xida-msft  Thanks a lot your solution works perfectly!  Thanks a lot for your effort.

     

    @eka24 I get an error by your formula but the other solution works great.
