Create a lookup based on a Sharepoint list

I have a dropdown field in my edit form which connects to a SharePoint list called BrokerAccount. The SharePoint list has two columns, 'ACCOUNTNUMBER' and 'Account Name'.

The dropdown field points to ACCOUNTNUMBER and the Data card is named DataCardValue_AccountNumber

I want to create a field which populates the 'Account Name' based on user selection of the ACCOUNTNUMBER dropdown.

I inserted a Text label, and under the Text property I inserted the following syntax:

LookUp(BrokerAccount, ACCOUNTNUMBER = DataCardValue_AccountNumber, 'Account Name')

I get an error message saying "Incompatible types for comparison. These types cannot be compared: Text, Control."

I have ensured that both fields are text fields, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Any ideas?

Hi @JemmaD

Try this formula

LookUp(BrokerAccount, ACCOUNTNUMBER = DataCardValue_AccountNumber.Selected.Value, 'Account Name')

Thanks!
