I have two SharePoint lists:

ListColumnType
Tax CodesCountry/RegionLookup
Name/ValueValue TypeChoice
Name/ValueKeyText
Name/ValueValueText

The Tax Codes-Country/Region column is a Lookup to the Name/Value list.  This list has various entries used for lookups to other lists. SharePoint allows the selection of the list for the lookup but not specify a filter. Not a problem, I am building a custom Power App to handle data entry into the Tax Codes list.

Here's my problem.  For the Country/Region column I am trying to change the Items property from the default of:

 

Choices([@'Tax Codes'].Country_x002f_Region)

 

to the following:

 

Filter( 'Name/Value', 'Value Type'.Value = "Country/Region" )

 

 The Value Type column is a Choice column so it should understand the '.Value' property, but I am getting a 'Name isn't valid' error for the '.Value'. What am I doing wrong?  I have done this hundreds of times before with no issues. Why is this a problem now?

 

Thanks.

    I figured this out.  In the Name/Value table, I renamed the 'Title' column to 'Value'.  It seems that Power Apps doesn't like that.  Changed the name back to 'Title' and the error went away and all is well.
