Mapping lookup column to number column of other list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 4

Hello Power App Team, 

 

While Migrating to SharePoint on - premise to SharePoint Online we faced many challenges, There was a standard limitation of Lookup column problem is occurred, to overcome we have made a choice columns. Therefore schema got modified and worked.

 

With the help of power automate imported the data successfully from on premise through excel, but we could not able to manage those auto incremented Id, so we have created a new number column named as (ParentID) to capture those unique auto increment id from older list.

 

Now those unique ids (ParentID) are mapped with many tables as a foreign key, but lookup column only see the unique auto incremented ID that is default behavior of lookup column . Looking to map lookup column with that ParentID.

 

Your Suggestion are welcoming here.

    Hi @khaleelN, This is more SharePoint related query rather than PowerApps. For SP there is dedicated community: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint/bd-p/SharePoint_General

     

    However, I will try to answer this here: When you create LookUp column in SP list then while creating the column there is option shown below:

    Example: I have ListA and ListB

     

    In ListA, I am creating a Lookup column with name PID which will lookup in ListB for column ParentID as shown in above screenshot. 

     

    If this does not help then please post your query on SharePoint forum for quick response

    I hope this helps.
