Hi Guys,

Currently I have a code that will add a " " value into my dropdown items. This allows me to show the user a default blank value prior to making a selection.

I have the below code in my items property within my dropdown list.

Sort(Distinct(
 Filter(
 Split(
 Concatenate(
 Concat(Types,Res &","),
 " " &","
 ),"," 
 ),!IsBlank(Result)
 ),
 Result
 ),Result)

This works fine if you want to show the whole collection in a dropdown list.

I want to apply a filter and still keep the blank value.

I dont know how to add in the filter within the above code. This is the filter I want to apply while still adding in the " " value.

Sort(Distinct(Filter(Types,Height= "720"),Res),Result)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @christian12 ,

Nesting the data source (Types) in a filter should do the trick:

Sort( Distinct( Filter( Split( Concatenate( Concat( Filter( Types, Height= "720" ), Res &"," ), " " &"," ), "," ), !IsBlank(Result) ), Result ), Result )

Hi @christian12 ,

Try

Ungroup( Table( { dd: Table( {Result: ""} ) }, { dd: Sort( Distinct( Filter( Split( Concat( Types, Res & "," ) & " ,", "," ), !IsBlank(Result) ), Result ), Result ).Result } ), "dd" )
