Hello All!

I have an issue to access my data in one of the Sharepoint column. The column is a choice type called "Job description" and is set up the same as my other one called "Process". For some reason it is displaying data type "Record" for Process and "Table" for Job description. How I can convert Table type data from my column so I can access it through dropdown box please? I can't even view this data in my gallery as it's Table format...

Regards

Hello, @marcy_pi, I am not clear about how you are presenting the SP list, if you are linking the list to a Gallery control, and you want to show the Choices column value in a text input control or label, use ThisItem.'Job description'

@marcy_pi, in the ComboBox, are you pulling the choices using similar formula:

Choices([@YourSharePointList].'Job description')

Ok it is working but how do I include this data in my gallery as this is not working when I try ThisItem.'Job description'. I also tried the name from SP which is Jobdescription and it just won't pull the data.

@marcy_pi, this could be due to your Choice Column is set to be multichoice column and in that case, you need to use the function Concat to column values into a text:

Concat(ThisItem.'Job description'.Value, Value & ", ")
