Help Needed: Adding Custom Option to Dropdown in Power Apps

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 215

Hello everyone,

I’m struggling to add an additional option to a dropdown in Power Apps using the With function. Here’s my scenario:

I have a list called REA Matrix.
I have a dropdown control in Power Apps that pulls data from the Title field of the REA Matrix list.
I want to add an additional option to the dropdown: “My region is not listed”.

Here’s the formula I’m using in the Items property of the dropdown:

With(
    {_items: Distinct('REA Matrix', Title)},
    Ungroup(
        Table(
            {Items: Table({Title: "My region is not listed"})},
            {Items: _items}
        ),
        Items
    )
)

However, this is giving me a value from the list and a record with the title “My region is not listed”.

Here is the results of the screen short

Can anyone help me figure out how to properly add this custom option to my dropdown? Any suggestions or corrections would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

    You should just need this
    Table(
       {Value: "My region is not listed"}
       Distinct('REA Matrix', Title)
    )
