Why are not all the columns visible in a Dataverse formula column?

Hello,

 

Table A is a dimensional table with a users list and Table B is a transactional table.

 

There is a relationship between the two with a lookup column (Table_A_FK).

 

In Table B, I'm able to lookup fields from Table A, by using the dot notation in the formula.

 

For example: UserName = Table_A_FK.UserName

 

However, I can't get the Email Address field.

 

Email = Table_A_FK.Email returns an error, although the Email field exists in Table A.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @WebPortal ,

     

    What data type is the Email Address column in Table A? According to the error message, Email type columns are not supported in formula columns:

    It's an Email column in User table:

    @Pavan_Mani_Deep 

    The column data type was "Email", thus causing the problem.

    By changing it to "Text" data type, the issue was fixed.

    Thank you!
