Choices() doesn't return all SharePoint users

When I try to populate a combobox using Choices() for my SharePoint list called "Urlopy", the table returned by the function and the actual amount of users vary greately.

As the monitor shows, 'Created By' offers 11 records:

But the actual table returned only contains these 4 recrods:

Why is the function returning a different table, when 'Created By' clearly contains 11 records (and even the Power Apps monitor can see that)?

Choices() doesn't work with my custom user column called 'Concerning' either. The settings on SharePoint are Choose from: All users

Hi @inaya ,

Firstly 'Created By' is a Person column and Choices() really do not apply. If you simply want a list of users that have created records

Sort( Distinct( Urlopy, 'Created By'.DisplayName ), Value )

If you want to choose from all users

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: Self.SearchText})
