Distinct Function from a List

Posted on by syhrh 997 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hi, I have this lookup column that has multiple choices of the same thing. It is a customized SharePoint form.

 

 

 

Choices([@Employee].ApprovalType)

 

 

anonymous21_0-1660205514128.pngthis is the sharepoint form with multiple choice of the same type

 

I tried this formula but the dropdown values become empty. Why does this happen even though there are values in Result?

How to use the distinct function to ensure there's only one choice even if it has multiple? For example, only 1 Software instead of 2.

 

Thank you.

    I think that you have values there but you are not showing the right ones.

     

    Please check which values are you showing in your combobox

    @Nogueira1306  I don't understand what I need to do. There are Result from the table but how to make the values visible?
