LookUp - Using the ID to find the name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by aah 126

I have two SharePoint lists, People & Departments.

 

I have a form that uses the People list as its data source.

 

I need to use the Department ID column in the People list to LookUp the Department ID column in the Departments list and return the Department Name.

 

I thought it would look something like this, but I can't seem to work it out.

Any help would be great, thanks.

    Hi, @aah 

    LookUp(People,'Department ID'=Control.'Department ID').'Department Name'

     

    This should work. 

    Control could be ..... a datacard control, or even ThisItem.'Department ID'..

     

     

     Hopefully this gives you a clue.

    @BideyYusuf & @StretchFredrik

    @aah  's form is using the People datasource and trying to get a department name from a lookup table.
