Hi

I have a category type column and quantity column which is a choice component.

Category column has 4 values

Quantity column has 1,2,3,4,5 values

It’s creating an empty category when it displays it in inline list.how to avoid this.

Hi @Manikandan_R

if possible, you could put one of your columns (category or quantity) in a new blank sheet, and use this new sheet as the source of your inline list.

Please share some print screens about your problem if you need more specific help.

Its easier to filter the inline list to show only that data that has, for example, category name not empty.
