Split choice column default value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 894

Hello,

 

I am attempting to split and take the first value from a choice column default value in gallery. Ihave placed this in a Label control within the gallery. I receive errors that it expects text value, however adding Text() does nothing.

 

First(
Split(ThisItem.'Latest step', ".")
)

 

ChatGPT had no idea and gave me lots of unuseful suggestions. Do any of you have a clue?

    @shavora ,

    You might need - for a Text Field

    First(
     Split(
     ThisItem.'Latest step',
     "."
     )
    ).Value
    

    For a Single Choice Field

    First(
     Split(
     ThisItem.'Latest step'.Value,
     "."
     )
    ).Value

    For a Multi-Choice field

    First(
     Split(
     First(ThisItem.'Latest step').Value,
     "."
     )
    ).Value

    As for the second comment, I think you can leave it at ChatGPT had no idea . . .
