Hello

 

I hope you can help.  I have Power Apps Canvas app on SharePoint Lists.  In the two lists in SharePoint fields are set to number, 0 decimals, (description is text).

 

This is the lookup that seems to work, but complains.

 

LookUp('UWT - SkillLevel',SkillLevel="10").Description

 

Below is added to supply context

I have used a form container.

 

In a text box I also get, same LookUp used.

Any ideas?  Any suggestions what I can look at?

 

Thanks

 

Stuart

    Hi @Stuart74 ,
    Try using the formula with Value function - 

    LookUp('UWT - SkillLevel', SkillLevel=Value(ThisItem.'MPL-CSL')).Description
