Business rule with lookup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Tango 1,164

Hi,

 

Is it possible in a business rule o do a lookup?

 

Consider quote line table with a column that is a lookup to a separate product table that has unit price based on different quantities.

 

when quantity is entered on the line item table, want to go get the unit price based on quantity.

 

Would also like this to be instant

 

Thanks in advance

 

Todd

    Hi @Tango 

    Business rules relate to only a single table.  You will not be able to look at fields on a related table within a Business Rule.  

     

    Note, you can pull in values (depending on what you are trying to do) in PowerFX formula columns (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/formula-columns?tabs=type-or-paste)

     

    Challenge with PowerFX formulas is that they do not support currency directly and if pulling from a remote tables doesn't support (even with casting as Decimal), see below (I know these are different fields than what you are trying to do but you can see that I am relating a field in current table and a field from related table (through lookup column):

    Another thing you could try is a calculated column.  Example is you could do a calculated field that would be something like the following which works in my demo case:
