Hello,
i have a table which contains these columns, "Meeting Date","Meeting/Forum",Project,Status. 
example data in table:
Meeting Date |  Meeting/Forum  | Project | Status
22/04/2024 |  Meeting                 | Project A | Open

22/04/2024 |  Meeting                 | Project B | Close
22/04/2024 |  Meeting                 | Project C | Identified
02/05/2024 |  Meeting                 | Project A | Identified
i want to group the data into meeting date and meeting/forum and display it in gallery,something like this,

Meeting Date |  Meeting/Forum  | 
22/04/2024    |  Meeting               | 

22/04/2024   |  Meeting                 | 
22/04/2024   |  Meeting                 | 
02/05/2024   |  Meeting                 | 


how can i achieve this ?

Thank you in advance !

    If you're pulling specific dataset into a collection, GroupBy function should help - There is a good example in the documentation: GroupBy and Ungroup functions - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

    Unfortunately, we cannot group by a choice field, but there is an alternate approach. We need to convert the choice field to text field and use the text field for grouping, the below article may be useful.
