Hi all,

I have this formula -

Product descriptions is the list where I am looking up into and brining in a column from that

Product title is the tile of the column from product description I am using as a lookup.

Product Descriptions and Examples is the column I am bringing into my app.

Datacardvalue49 is my card in my app.

LookUp([@'Product Descriptions'],'Product Title' = DataCardValue49.Text,'Product Descriptions and Examples')

So in my datacardvalue49, I may have product - Vaccuum|Lite or Vaccuum|Ultra. How can I split out the "|Lite" or "Ultra" so my lookup is only done on Vacuum.

Thanks.

Hi @wonka1234

The Split function can help you with that. My example blow used it to split from |.

My code is:

First( Split( Label4.Text, "|" ) ).Value

In you case it would be:

First( Split( LookUp([@'Product Descriptions'],'Product Title' = DataCardValue49.Text,'Product Descriptions and Examples'), "|" ) ).Value

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

Hi @wonka1234

Just tried it with a LookUp in my case it is working.

First( Split( LookUp('Inventory Managements', Barcode = "1001B8R9", Category), "|" ) ).Value

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
