Dropdown default property from a choice column in sharepoint

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello, I've got a PowerApp with a dropdown in it and I'm trying to put a field of a row inside the Default property of this dropdown but then I gave up and that's why I'm here asking for help. D=

The column I'm trying to reach is a Choice type column in SharePoint.

This is the formula I managed to make so far after 4hours of attempts approximately:

First(Filter(
NameOfSharePointList;

columnTitle = "0001"));

{columnLanguage: {Id: dropdownLanguage.Selected.Id;

Value: dropdownLanguage.Selected.Value}})

From what I know I need to put a Filter function and to reach a specific column in a specific row, but nothing I've tried so far works.

Thanks, ProNewbie.

To get the data from the choice column type

use Lookup(NameOfSharePointList, columnTitle = "0001").columnLanguage.Value (this will give you the text in the choice field)

Tested and it works!
Thank you so much, I completely forgot about the LookUp() function.

Hi @Anonymous

Lookup(NameOfSharePointList, columnTitle = "0001").columnLanguage.Value
First(Filter(NameOfSharePointList, columnTitle = "0001")).columnLanguage.Value

Both will work
However performance wise Lookup is better
Lookup only returns 1 record
Filter returns a collection and hence we have to do First after that
