Data tables dont work with complex types
you can create a collection and add a new column to store that value and use the collection in data table

example:
ClearCollect(colData,AddColumns(datasource,"CountryText",Concat(Country,Value&",")))

In my case Country is the multi select column

Hi @vishalgoyal2472

This is happening because Data Table expects its values to be text. As an alternate to this, you can directly refer to the column by placing the expression on Text property of the column as:

Concat(ThisItem.'Issue/Objective Type',Value,",")

Here, Value is the column that holds text value for choice type fields.

Hope this Helps!

Thank You for your response,

We tried with your approch by creating new collection and adding columns insude it.

ClearCollect(IssueObject,AddColumns('Issue Objection Assignments',"Edit","Edit","IssueObjectType",Concat('Issue/Objection Type',";")))

But , Now the datatable is showing only ;;; and not val1;val2;val3

Any thought what we did wrong?

Thanks
Sith
