Hi - I am new to PowerApps...

I have an app where I would select a value from a dropdown (myDropdown) and would like to use the OnChange Event to set a global variable that is the text representation of the dropdown. So far, I have used:

(1) Set(varName, Self.Selected.Value) - which sets varName: {“Id:707770002,”Value”:”Food - Dinner”}

(2) Set(varName.Self.Selected) - which sets varName: ? (a simple question mark in the column)

(3) Set(varName.Self.SelectedText) - shows an error (SelectedText isn't recognized)

(4) Set(varName.Self.SelectedText.Value) - ditto

NOTE: For clarity's sake, I am using a dropdown as I want to be able to select a single value from the list...not multiples, thus I am not using the combobox.

Lastly, example (1) above actually has the value that I am looking for - except that I only want the "Food - Dinner" portion.

Any further thoughts or ideas are welcomed...

Hi @RichHarr

To make sure you just have text, you could wrap the first option inside of the text function.

Set(varName, Text(Self.Selected.Value))

Please tick Accept as solution if the answer is useful.

Thanks,
