Issues combining select functions and text

Hi,

I am trying to generate some enum lists for selecting valid meterages based on input data within the table and within another table. I have had success using the following formula in the data validity section:

โ€œSELECT(Build data[Chainage Actual],
AND(
([Chainage Actual] >= [_THISROW].[Start chainage]),
([Chainage Actual] <= [_THISROW].[End chainage]),
([Shift Type]= 3. Supervision)
)
)โ€

This obviously generates me a dropdown enumlist of valid chainage actual values and does not allow me to add any values that are invalid (even if โ€œallow other valuesโ€ is enable). However I want to have the ability to add a couple of standard text values N/A and no data used for example.

I have tried a couple of methods to resolve this but havenโ€™t had any luck with the following:

  • Using LIST(my formula, โ€œN/Aโ€) to suggested values- this doesnโ€™t separate the formula values into a drop down
  • Trying to use LIST in the data validity area

Any ideas with how to combine a select function and a some text into a drop down?
