    Hi @Tapesh ,

    I think you are fairly close - you do not need to repeat "Default".

    If(
     Dropdown1.Selected.'Department Name ' = "Others",
     "Others", 
     Parent.Default
    )

     You also have an extra bracket on the end.

    Hi, 

     

    Thanks for the solution, i figured it out i hope your logic and formula is correct in perspective with my solution, however, i found issue what i was missing. 

     

    That was AllowEmptySelection property to be set to true and it worked well. Thanks 

    Thanks
