Depends on what you are using it for, but you should be able to use your existing list.

- First add a RowID column.
- Then create a single relation that links the region column back to itself.
- Then create lookup column that retrieves the RowID from the relation.
- Then create an IF column that checks if the lookup RowID matches the RowID in the row. If it does, return the Region value.
- Now you can create an inline list filtered to only show rows where the IF column is not empty. That will give you a unique list of regions.
- If you plan to use those regions as a category list, then you’ll want to change the action on the list from ‘Show Detail Screen’ to ‘Show New Screen’.
- On that new screen, you can add an inline list filtered by the Screen Value Region.
