Users aren't seeing dropdown options, and data is aggregated. I'm not seeing the same

I'm building an app that visualises some data from a business process. Part of that visualisation is aggregating the data in to a chart and showing a/b/c/d for the past 6 days, as well as a date selected from a drop down. 

This all works perfectly when I'm in edit mode or running the app but when published, and users come to see this, they firstly can't select a date from the drop down (doesn't show any options) and the data is all aggregated in to the table where a date must be selected. 

This is what I see:

And the user sees this:

Formula for the dropdown:

 

GroupBy(
 AddColumns(
 JML_error_loggings,
 "dateOfLog",
 Text(
 Timestamp,
 "[$-en-GB]dd/mm/yyyy"
 )
 ),
 "dateOfLog",
 "GroupData"
)

 

and top table:

 

CountRows(
 Filter(
 JML_error_loggings,
 DateValue(Timestamp) = DateValue(ReportingDropdown_1.Selected.dateOfLog),
 'Change reason' = "Joiner"
 )
)

 

and one of the cells from the bottom table:

 

CountRows(
 Filter(
 JML_error_loggings,
 DateValue(Text(Timestamp, "[$-en-GB]dd/mm/yyyy")) = DateValue(Today()-1),
 'Change reason' = "Joiner"
 )
)

 

 

I appreciate there are some delegation, and probably performance issues in the formula but I'm only at a few hundred rows of data thus far and priority is getting the functionality correct.

    Hi @Drogen24,

     

    Do the other users have permission to the data source you're using for the dropdown controls?

    Are any other users able to perform the same test as you, i.e. preview the app in the Power Apps studio?

    Hi Keith,

     

    Yes, users have read access to the source data (in Dataverse), I have wondered if the permissions propogate to AddColumns as that's not part of the original data, but haven't been able to find any information on if that's the case.

    We've tried studio, Teams embedded and on the web with the same results.

    Thanks for the extra info.

     

    If you add a data table or gallery to the app showing all JML_error_loggings records (without grouping, filtering, etc) do they show for all users?

    Aha that's got me to the solution. 

    The user's couldn't see the 'Timestamp' column and turns out I'd turned on additional security on that column for some reason. I've removed that and users can now use the drop down. 

     

    Thanks @KeithAtherton
