Hey Everyone,

To the best of my knowledge there is not a way to display a "lookup" field from a SharePoint list in a powerapps "data table" correct? No matter what I do, I cannot even see the field display in the data table's "fields" selection. I cannot find anything online saying you can manipulate a SharePoint list "lookup" field in powerapps/display it in a data table. If you can, could you please help me / point me in the right direction?

If you cannot, can you please give me a reference/article that proves this? I am trying to get my boss off of my back on this one if I am correct.

Thank you!

Yes, you can display this in your DataTable.

Just add it as a column in your Items property:

AddColumns(yourDataSource, "LookupValue", yourLookupColumn.Value)

You will now see "LookupValue" in your list of fields to add to the datatable and it will show the value of the lookup.

I hope this is helpful for you.

So I get to this point: AddColumns( '101 FG Orders',"LookUpValue",'101 FG Orders'.<My_Column>)
However, I cannot find the column I am looking for. It is like it's invisible to powerapps. Or do I need to be using LookUp() instead of "101 FG Orders".<example>"?

Your syntax is not as suggested. You should be using:

AddColumns( '101 FG Orders', "LookUpValue", <My_Column>.Value)

Okay I feel like I'm missing something here. The name of the lookup column is 'Item ID'. If I were to use the syntax you suggested above, I still cannot see 'Item_ID'.

Is Item_ID the name of your Lookup column in your list?

My apologies....come to find out the column "Item ID" had been originally the "Title" column. I changed it back and everything is working as it should. Thank you for all of your help!
