Convert Sharepoint People Displayname from Table type to Text to function in Lookup?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 16

Hi

 

I am trying to Lookup a Sharepoint List People value (DisplayName) but I am getting an error that Expected value is Text. When I have the cursor after the last parenthesis it shows the value, but it will not display the result in the Label.

LookUp('Risiko CheckListe', Title = DDProjektname.Selected.Title, ProjektManager.DisplayName)

 

 

DDProjektname is a drop down.

 

I have tried adding .value & .text after DisplayName, I have seen suggestions of using Concat() but I am not sure how. Any ideas please?

Many thanks

    Most likely the "ProjektManager" people picker field allows multiple values. So the lookup formula is trying to return a table.

    Try using the below:

    LookUp('Risiko CheckListe', Title = DDProjektname.Selected.Title, Concat(ProjektManager.DisplayName,DisplayName,","))
