How to show distinct values from a "Person" column in SharePoint.

Hello everyone, can someone explain to me why this dropdown is not getting populated by the distinct approvers ("Approver Name")? Each row only has a single approver. I am getting the same issue with both of these formulas, the values are just showing as blank. Thanks!

    First try putting .Result at the end of your Distinct() function. It returns a single-column table with the .Result column name.

     

    Hope that helps,

    Unfortunately its not even giving me the option. Could you give an example of what the code should look like? Something like this?

    Distinct('Policy Approvers Backup 2',ApproverName.Result)

    Yes, try this syntax instead:

    Distinct('Policy Approvers Backup 2', ApproverName.DisplayName).Result
    // Distinct returns a single column named 'Result'
