How to Populate Form with Datasource SharePoint List from a ComboBox with Distinct Values?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a combo box and a form, both linked to the same Datasource (A SharePoint List). However, my combo box is set to Distinct('SharePointList', Name) so that I am not seeing duplicate name values (I'm working on a visitor sign in, this is for returning visitors).

 

When I set my form items to ComboBox.Selected, I get the error "Invalid Formula. Expected a value compatible with 'DataSource'".

    Hi @PatrickMcLeanGL , Can use below code on Item property of Form:

    LookUp('SharePointList', Title = ComboBox.Selected.Value)
