Choices value unseen in comboBox

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 69

Hello,

 

I am trying to filter the data from dataverse in gallery in canvas app. I put a comboBox and use choices function. Here is my formula at items property of comboBox 

 

Choices('Status (CS Opportunity Sign-off Home Pages)')

When I run the app, the text doesn't show instead showing multiple choices. I don't know why. Any suggestion on it?

    Hi @Wah22 , I believed you are using modern combo box with multiple selection turned on. If you do not want multiple section then please make this property SelectMultiple to false.

     

    And for the value, does Status is table name? Because this is how the Choices function will work

     

    Choices(Accounts.Status)

     

    In above example, i have status column in data verse table Accounts. If I use this code on Items property then it work like this:

    Syntax

    Choices( column-reference [, text-filter ] )

    • column-reference - Required. A lookup column of a data source. Don't enclose the column name in double quotes. The reference must be directly to the column of the data source and not pass through a function or a control.
    • text-filter - Optional. Filters the list of choices by only returning choices that start with the text specified in text-filter. If an empty string is specified, all choices will be returned.

    Hi @ANB , 

     

    Thanks for your reply and support. The 'Status' is column name and CS New opportunity Sign-off' is table name. I used the same function like you mentioned Choices(CS New Opportunity Sign-off.Status) and it shows name isn't valid error.

    HI @Wah22 , It should be this way:

    Choices('CS New Opportunity Sign-off'.Status)

    Hi @ANB 

     

    The invalid argument is still happening. The original I used only doesn't have an argument. But it doesn't show the value when I click comboBox.
