Hello

I went through posts with similar error and tried all solutions. Still couldnt fix the issue in my app.

 

we are building a stock level viewer app. The data is stored in an excel file in SharePoint.

 

I have below collect function on the OnStart property of the app.

My form have two Dropdowns (cascaded dropdowns) i believe the filter is creating the issue.

The Items property on Brand is as follows

The items property on Model is as follows

There is no error on the dev screen. Even the published app works just fine.

But it throws an error on top once the app loads (kind of deterring the users)

    Thanks for your response. The Model column doesnt have any null values. The error message goes off after sometime and the app works perfectly fine.

    I changed the source to a SharePoint List and the error went away.

    Hey all, I am facing the exact same issue. So if I understand this correctly, the only solution is to switch to a list?
