Getting value out of database when filling a textbox in

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I am going to ask a question about this section of my application: https://gyazo.com/58300f12fbca4455e5e8511a52241d44

Basically what I want to do is: 

The user fills in the tekeningnummer, whenever this is filled in, I want it to be looked up inside of my database. https://gyazo.com/d70e398140c75aba9d29bd0d66d7b983

The database looks like that ^ the bestandsname is the tekeningnummer. So basically whenever the tekeningnummer is filled in, I want it to automatically make a connection between the row with the tekeningnummer in my database. So let's say someone fills in the second tekeningnummer inside of my database (19030-12_0402). I want to have a textfield that has the product_usage that comes with it (400-E-M; rubber EPDM). How can I do this? 

I have tried this formula but sadly can't get it to work. I am able to do this with a dropdown box but not with this formula:

Distinct(Filter(Tabel4, Bestandsnaam=DataCardValue12.Text),Product_usage)

    Try changing your formula to the following:

    Lookup(Tabel4, Bestandsnaam=DataCardValue12.Text, Product_usage) 

    That should give you what you are looking for.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.
