Hi @insandur,

 

You are talking about a Combo box control in Power Apps, correct? This is the Power BI forum, a different product. Normally you can ask these type of questions over there: https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/?groupid=b5652dc6-2c99-4e33-8b6f-45be4a896a40

 

That being said, have you tried a filter instead?
