Incompatible schemas

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a very simple Distinct(Source data, Column) formula on the Items property of a dropdown box but am getting the following error message: The property cannot consume the type of Tables that this rule produces, due to incompatible schemas. 

Any idea what this means?

    Hi,

     

    Could you please let us know more about the schema? is it a Sharepoint List? SQL Database? what's the column type?

    It's a SharePoint list. The column type is a choice. Thank you.

    Ok, so I'm guessing is like this?

     

    Distinct(Choices(SharepointList.ChoiceColumn), Value)
