Hello there!

I want to filter a dropdown based on what has been selected in another dropdown.

So I have a dropdown where a column Bestandsnaam1 is shown. Whenever they select one, it should look in the database to the rows with that Bestandsnaam1 and then it needs to show the column named "Prod. usage"

How can I do this?

This concept is called 'Cascading Dropdowns' and fortunately there are many resources I can point you to. I suggest you try this video first.

Hi@TimoMigchielsen,
Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to display the items in a Dropdown based on another Dropdown selected?
Could you please share a bit more about the scenario:
what is your data source, SharePoint or Excel?
what is the column type of the 'Bestandsnaam1' and 'Prod. usage'?
Combine that with your description, I assume that you have an Excel table.
Beside, I will suggest you use a Combo Box instead of a Dropdown because the Dropdown will select the first item by default when there are multiple items filtered based on another Dropdown.
Here is my scenario, please check for reference.
Set the Items property of the Bestandsnaam1_dropdown as below:

Distinct(Table13,Bestandsnaam1)

Set the Items property of the Prod. usage_dropdown as below:

Filter(Table13,Bestandsnaam1 in Bestandsnaam1_dropdown.Selected.Result).'Prod. usage'

Check the GIF.
Regards,
Qi
