Dataverse Choice Columns (Single Value) – Part 1

Welcome to the first part of my Dataverse series! In this video, I explain how to work with Choice columns with single values in Dataverse and how to properly configure them when importing data using Dataflows.

What you will learn in this video:

• How Dataverse stores Choice columns as numeric values behind the scenes
• How to prepare a Dataverse table with a Session Type Choice field
• Why text from external sources cannot be mapped directly to Choice columns
• How to create a calculated column to map text to numeric values
• How to validate the results in Dataverse

This video is part 1 of a series, so stay tuned for upcoming tutorials on multi-value Choice columns, lookups, and more advanced Dataverse scenarios.
