    hi @antonio_piernav

     

    you need to set the Items property to this:

    ShowColumns(Table1, TextInput1.Text)

    you may need to ensure that capitalisation is the same, like column1 and not Column

    Apologies @antonio_piernav, I just tested and it does not work.

    Then you need to reorganise your data, like this:

    Then you can have a dropdown to select the column with Items like this:

    GroupBy(Table1, "MyColumnName", "AllRows")

    Then the second dropdown with Items like this:

    DropDown1.Selected.AllRows.MyItems

    Please let me know if this works
