    @Anandc 

    You cannot have your Default property determine what the Items property should be.

    Your dropdown Items property should be: Distinct(Table1.Location)

    Your Default property on the Dropdown should be : Blank()

    Your AllowEmptySelection property on the dropdown should be true

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
