This Item Formula Returning 'Expected Text Value' Error

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5,331 Moderator

I have Gallery1.

It is pulling in data from a SharePoint Library.

Several of the library columns are choice colums, including 'Assigned to'.

All except the 'Assigned to' are returning the proper data.

I am using the following formula in 'Assigned to'.

It is returning the error -
     "Expected Text value"

What am I missing?

    Hi @Phineas 

    Maybe its multiple choice column 

    Try this : 

    Concat(Thisitem.'Assigned to'.Value, ",")

    Only the ' , ' (comma) comes through.

    Try this 

    before value "," not .

    Concat(Thisitem.'Assigned to',Value, ",")

    not this one : Concat(ThisItem.'Assigned to'.Value, ",")

    are you show that Assigned to value into Textinput or Dropdpown

    Text input to use :-  Concat(ThisItem.'Assigned to',Value, ",")

    Dropdown to use :- ThisItem.'Assigned to'

    Okay, I got my gallery field to populate with -
         ThisItem.'Assigned to'.Value

    This is based on my Combo Box having -
         '01-Client Flies_1'.Assignedto

    However the above is not showing in content in the Combo Box list.

    I want my Combo Box to display the client names in ascending order.

    What am I missing.

    its a choice column correct

    try this : 

     

     Sort(
    Choices('01-Client Flies_1'.Assignedto),Value,SortOrder.Ascending)

     

    Check ComboBox > Fileds
