Add 'Other" to Dropdown list based on SharePoint column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 240

Hello,

 

I have what seems to be a simple request. My 'items' formula for dropdown is coming from SP data source and it is  

Distinct(AutoData,ParentCode)

- which works fine(to get values from 'ParentCode' SP column). User needs to be able to select 'Other' at the bottom and I am struggling to add this option to the formula above. Updating SP list is not an option as list is dynamic and then I have to worry about sorting so that 'other' appears at the end of all options.

 

Thank you for your help.

    Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

    Ungroup(
     Table({Items: Distinct(AutoData,ParentCode)},
     {Items: Table({Result: "Other"}) }
     ),
     "Items"
    )

    This will provide you with a more dynamically changing dropdown based on your AutoData source.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    Hi @nemanjasovic011 

    Do a collection for the Items

    ClearCollect(
     colDD,
     Distinct(
     Autodata,
     ParentCode
     ),
     {Result: "Other"},
    )
