Powerapps - Lookup & Filter not working for collections

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Craig6 4

Can someone please explain to me why option 1 & 3 both work here and yet option 2 wont work?

 

Option 1: LookUp('EVA/EXCEL_AvgCherryWeights', FarmName=Gallery1.Selected.FarmName && VarietyDesc=Gallery1.Selected.VarietyName).AvgCherryGrams

 

Option 2: LookUp(TempAvgCherryWeights, FarmName=Gallery1.Selected.FarmName && VarietyDesc=Gallery1.Selected.VarietyName).AvgCherryGrams

 

Option 3: LookUp(TempAvgCherryWeights, FarmName="Bambara" && VarietyDesc="Kordia").AvgCherryGrams

 

where Option 1 is directly looking up the SQL table

where Option 2 is looking up a collection that is EXACTLY the same as the table and the data is defintely in there

where Option 3 is explicity typing out the text fields that I'm trying to lookup

 

Is my powerapps just having a bad day or am I missing something?

    Most likely one of the galleries.selected is not returning the correct data that the datasource wants to compare which causes it to not find a suitable item.

    No, the data is correct.  Hence why option 1 is working without problem.  The following ishow the collection is collected, basically copying the exact same table from sql.  I'm going crazy here, why won't this work?

     

    ClearCollect(TempAvgCherryWeights, ForecastApp_AvgCherryWeightsSummary);

    Anyone else have thoughts on this?  I have now tried multiple times within my app using other data sources, but I can't seem to use Lookup or Filter on a collection, they simply return blank.

     

    Is this new or has it always been the case?  Help please?
