Hi Everyone,

I have a little problem pulling data from Dataverse table to collection: this Dataverse table includes a choice column but at the moment of ClearCollect the new collection it gives me all columns ' values except the choice field [This data type is unsupported for evaluation].

Could you please help.

Thank you.

Can you share the code that are you doing?

Did you created the choices direct on the field or create the choice and linked with the field?

Yes, Here is the code: The status is the choice column that has 5 statuses.

ClearCollect(Collection1,Filter(EventTable, City="New York"));
ClearCollect(colData, ShowColumns(Collection1, IDNumber, 'Event Date', 'Event Result', SpaceID, Status));

You mean that information?
if is that case you can use the name logical name of the field and you will be able to use in the gallery.

I made this example with the case, but it works for any choice.

I hope that this information has resolved your doubt. If it is marks as resolved 😎

Thank you for the help. I have issue collecting data into a collection. I understand that gallery or any other control will handle this type of data. But, if I want to create the collection , that gives the same result as your screen : This data type is unsupported .....

My idea is to pass this data to collection then to JSON ==> Power automate for reporting.

Thank you.

Thank you Michaelfp,

I've tried to create the JSON , but the data I got is not the same choices I already have [A, B, C]. I received the following result : (e.g. 62730001)

Is there anyway to convert these numbers to choices : Thank you for your help

Try the following:

1- first create a collection with you choices
ClearCollect(MyOptions,Choices('Status Reason (Cases)'));

2- Create another collection to add your records but using AddColumns to include new column with the text value
ClearCollect(MyCollection, AddColumns(Cases,'ChoiceColumn', Text(LookUp(MyOptions,'Status Reason' = Value).Value) ) );

Check if this works for you.

If this information help please give me a kudo. If solve you problem please mark as solution. This is help the community.

Kind Regards.
