Hello guys

I'm trying to get a match between a Gallery and a Table with the LookUp function.
I get an error message "Invalid formula. A value compatible with "DataSource" was expected. "
It seems this is not possible... but I think there is maybe another way to achieve this? Or am I doing something wrong?

What I try to achieve:
In PowerApps I can select an "Order" from a Gallery which is connected with a SP List.

on the new page--> (Please see screenshot for more understanding) I can edit the form

FormA (Flugbuchungen_Formular) --> Editable text fields and selectable values and an unique ID number --> SP List
FormB (Form4) --> not editable/visible fields which copies the values/texts from FormA (actually 1:1 the same informations) --> Excel file

When I hit the "save" button --> it submits the Forms --> Form1 to a SP List // --> Form2 to a Excel list (OneDrive)
((the save button does the following;
SubmitForm(Flugbuchungen_Formular);; SubmitForm(Form4);; Navigate(Hauptseite;ScreenTransition.Fade)))
which works... for new entries

if I want to edit an existing Table entry I need to declair (at the item field) which object or row have to be modified... and there is my problem:
with this I get the following error: "Invalid formula. A value compatible with "DataSource" was expected. "

If(Form4.Mode = FormMode.Edit;
LookUp(
Tabelle5.'Antrag ID'; Gallery2.Selected.'Antrag ID' = Tabelle5.'Antrag ID'
).'Antrag ID'
)

or error message "Some types are incompatible for comparison. These types cannot be compared"

If(Form4.Mode = FormMode.Edit;
LookUp(
Tabelle5.'Antrag ID'; Gallery2.Selected.'Antrag ID' = Tabelle5.'Antrag ID'
)
)

Is there another way?

Thank you in advance

Hi @Unbihexium ,

The correct syntax is

If( Form4.Mode = FormMode.Edit; LookUp( Tabelle5; 'Antrag ID' = Gallery2.Selected.'Antrag ID' ).'Antrag ID' )

however you are going in a bit of a circle here - you just need

If( Form4.Mode = FormMode.Edit; Gallery2.Selected.'Antrag ID' )

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately I get the same error with this syntax. ("Invalid formula. A value compatible with "DataSource" was expected. ")

@Unbihexium ,

Where do you have this formula - it will produce a single (numeric) value, so it needs to be a Label Text or a control Default.

If that is a Form Item, you need to drop the .ID off the end of the first structure I sent (and produce a Record).

Thank you so much! It works just perfect!
If( Form4.Mode = FormMode.Edit; LookUp( Tabelle5; 'Antrag ID' = Gallery2.Selected.'Antrag ID' ) )
