How to add an "NA" option to my dropdown list manually (the rest of the dropdown list is coming from a sharepoint list)

Posted on by sjoshi

Currently, I have a dropdown list that is populated from values in a column from a SharePoint list. I am looking to add an "NA" option to my dropdown list. I was asked not to include the "NA" value as part of the SharePoint list, so need to add it manually in PowerApps.

 

Currently, my "Items" section for my dropdown has the following:

 

'PPG People'.'Full Name'

    How many rows are we talking about?

     

    If its under 2,000 and will stay that way, then use a collection, and fill it from the sharepoint list, adding in the NA.

    Also, add a Sort Column in the Collection if you want. to make sure that NA is always on Top

     

    But either way on sorting, a Collection is the best way to do what you said 


    If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

    Cheers
