Dear All,

In my sharepoint list i have single line text column as Location.

In the form, i have customized this as "Accepted Values" and made dropdown

In this dropdown i have showing the values from another list.

This works well. However, i wanted to show 'Select' as first value in the dropdown.

Please give some ideas.

Hello @venka91 ,
I think you just need to add "select" as part of the items in the other list where the dropdown values are.
And you set the dropdown default to "Select".

I tried with it. But that is not happening.

I have two issues here.

1. I want to display the drop down on ascending. So when i add "select" in my list, the select is sorted and not as first value in dropdown

2. If make Default property of my dropdown as 'Select' it is still the showing values from list as the item property has the formula written as Distinct(listname, location)

Sure, try this on the DefaultSelectedItems.
LookUp(Choices([@YourList].Column),Value="SELECT")

Hi @venka91 ,

Firstly Items of the (I assume) Combo Box

Ungroup( Table( { DDItems: Table( {Result: "Select"} ) }, { DDItems: Sort( Distinct( listname, location ), Result ).Result } ), "DDItems" )

DefaultSelectedItems

{Result: "Select"}

or it you want to display existing record values

{Result: Coalesce(ThisItem.Location, "Select")}

@venka91 ,

Just put the same formula I posted in the Items - you can also have the Default as

Coalsece(ThisItem.location, "Select")

and it will show either Select or (if not empty) the value currently in the field.
