Combobox not showing data

[Puddlestomper]

Hi everyone

Apologies if this post is already somewhere  else and I overlooked.

I have two combobox to filter a gallery. The datasource of which are two  text columns with 5 different options (department and city) from a table in dataverse. I need to set up a distinct(datasource.columnname). The problem is that, although  powerapps doesn't seem to have any problem when I type the items (datasource.column), it doesn't give me any data  back but instead everything is blank. The only items I am allow to display are the primary keys of the table. I also tried to create a collection to obtain the data then connect the combobox to this  collection but it didn't work either, instead the collection showed "[object Object]". I've scratched my head for a few days around this and I don't seem to figure out the issue.  None of my combos work. I would be grateful if someone could help. 

Thank you very much

Hi @Puddlestomper 

In the Combobox control's Items property, can you try to add the expression as:

Choices(TableName.ColumnName)

Also, verify the Fields selected in the Combobox properties.

Hope this Helps!

Hi @yashag2255 

Thank you very much but I also tried this option and unfortunately  didn't work. I forgot to mention this in my first post. In fact when I tried that option powerapps  rejected the statement. Tablename.columnname seems to be accepted but the return is blank. 

Thank you very much for your help it's really appreciated.

@Puddlestomper 

TableName.ColumnName and Choices(TableName.ColumnName) are two different functions and works differently. Can you please confirm the type of field which you are trying to keep on the combobox? If you can share a bit more details about the data model, we might be able to help you better.

Hope this Helps!
