Expected Text value

Posted on by omi18 640

Hello,

 

I'm getting an error: Expected text value for distinct function. Below is my current formula. 

 

Distinct(Filter('[travel].[CourseDesc]',FullName=SelectFacultyBox.Selected.Result),email1)

 

What I'm trying to do is, based on the combo box selection display email id as a text label.

 

Thanks,

Omi

    Use a lookup:

    LookUp('[travel].[CourseDesc]',FullName=SelectFacultyBox.Selected.Result,email1)

     

    I believe email1 is a column in your table
