    Hi @satishkumark ,

     

    If Entity column is not Text type then:

    LookUp('Direct Benefit WL3 Team', Entity.Value = EntityCombobox.Selected.Value).WL3Members

    Hi  Jeffer Ni,

    Thanks for the response,

    As you mentioned, I used the same code, but getting Incompatible types of comparison: these types can't be compared: Record, Text

    Hi @satishkumark ,

     

    The two People columns both allow multiple selections, am I right?

     

    If so, you will need to use Choices('Direct Benefit WL3 Team'.WL3Members) as Items of the 'Work Level 3' Combobox, and set DefaultSelectedItems of it to:

    LookUp('Direct Benefit WL3 Team', Entity = EntityCombobox.Selected.Value).'WL3Members'

     

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Mansuri for quick response.

    I used the same formula in Items property of work Level 3 ComboBox, but getting a error message-Expected a Table Value.
