Dropdown needs distinct values from a SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 86

Hi

I have a dropdown in a canvas app. It must give me the distinct values from a SharePoint list where a the values are in a Lookup column.

The lookup in that column has 20 choices. But in this list only 3 or 4 are used.

In my dropdown I see that the user has 20 choices. I want them only have access to the distinct values that are in the list and not all possible values.

 

I used this code……
Choices([@Planning_1].Product)

 

Who can help me?

 

Regards

 

Steven
