Apply filter for a form based on the data selected from another dataset

I am trying to populate a "display form" based on the data displayed from another dataset.

Dataset A:

Name	Email	Region
Mary	mary@google.com	Americas
Peter	peter@google.com	APAC
Paul	paul@google.com	EMEA

Dataset B:

Name	Email	Workshop 1	Workshop 2	Workshop 3	Homework
Peter	peter@google.com	50%	100%	100%	80%
Mary	mary@google.com	100%	50%	100%	Incomplete
Paul	paul@google.com	done makeup assignments	80%	100%	100%

The app is designed to show 2 forms, linking the data from 2 datasets.

"Form A" is linked with Dataset A, all the columns are set to displayed fields, and the result is based on one selected item from a gallery displayed of Dataset A.

"Form B" is linked with Dataset B, set to display the remaining fields based on the result from "Form A."

The formula for "Form B - Item" is: First(Filter(Dataset B,'Name' = DataCardValue.Text)

* where "datacardvalue" is a field in "Form A" - that links with 'Name' from Dataset A
 
The formula has reported error, and no data was shown in any fields of "Form B".
Could anyone please share your advice? Many thanks!

Hi

You said, it reported an error, but didn't share it? Why?

Also this cannot be correct as its missing lot of punctuation

First(Filter(Dataset B,'Name' = DataCardValue.Text)

has to be

First(Filter('Dataset B','Name' = ControlInsideDataCard.Text))

And the error is (most likely) because you are trying to use the DataCard itself, versus the Text Box that is inside the datacard.

Make sure to click inside to get the name of the Control and then grab its value/text whatever you need
