Table A: Names - unique id, full name, other fields.

Table B: Invoices - unique id, name.id (unique id from Table A), other fields

 

Table A's Unique ID exists as a field in Table B but not the full name field of the individual.

 

Trying to display the list of invoices from Table B with a Search Box input for the full name from Table A.

 

Tried Search(Table B, Text(LookUp(Table A, full name = SearchBoxInput.Text, unique id), name.id)

 

Returned nothing.

 

There's another solution that uses Filter provided here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Lookup-Nest-Search/m-p/477959

Maybe filter can work instead. Let me know what you think, thanks!

    I think your Search() statement is pretty close, but I think instead of Text() you may need to use GUID().  The unique ID in Dataverse is a GUID and you won't find it using a Text search.

    Why don't you test that your list gets the items from the following command?

     


    AddColumns(
    TableB,
    "FullName",
    LookUp(TableA,UniqueId=Name.id,FullName)
    )
