Posted on by 237
Hi!
 
So what I am trying to get is the unique values from a full column of an excel. So when getting the connector into the dropdown, it gets all the values:
As you can see, it gets all the values of the table but I want to get only 1 value of each. I think I have to use Distinct but dont know how eaxctly. 
 
Someone could help me?
 
Thanks!!

    Firstly, Distinct  is not supported by Delegation, so you will only be able to address record numbers up to your Data Row Limit (standard 500, maximum 2,000). However if you have under this amount of records you simply need
    Distinct(
       YourTableName,
       YourFieldName
    )
