I have a dropdown that references an employee list in SharePoint. When the item / person is selected, there's an image element that brings up the image found in the Picture column. Not all employees have photos though.

Is there some way to display a default image, like the one below, if the Picture Column for the selected item in the SharePoint list is empty?

Hi @anthonys123

An alternative/shorter approach is to call the Coalesce function:

Coalesce( PersonPicker.Selected.Picture, blankuser.image )

Got it! Took a little finessing, but this works. Thank you!!

If(IsBlank(PersonPicker.Selected.Picture),(blankuser.image),PersonPicker.Selected.Picture)

Hi @anthonys123,

Add your default image in your apps. Then try this formula in the default property :

If(IsBlank(YourPictureColonm), YourDefaultImage, YourPictureColonm)
