Can't See related records in Powerapps or dataverse

Posted on by 27

Hi,

I have a table of records which is related in a one-to-many relationships to another table of records.

'table 1' has many records related to it in 'table 2'. I also see table 1 record's GUID in the related records in table 2 when i edit the data in excel.

The problem is that when i try to view the related records in powerapps gallery or in datavers record editor via subgrid, they do not show. in powerapps i use in items property: table1record.table2 but is has no records in it.

all the records are in Active status.

 

what can be the issue?

 

Thank you

Yoav

    Hi @YoavOrion ,

     

    In the Dataverse you create a 1:N relationship through a Lookup field and the Lookup field is based on the "Primary Name" column of the table with the 1 side of the relationship.  Example in your situation here you would need to populate the name field on table A with the SPID value and then in table B you would import the records setting the Lookup column for table A to the SPID from the 1 side of the relationship.

     

    Thanks,

    Drew

    Ok I found the problem but don't know how to fix it.

    The tables are records I am importing from SharePoint and I am using the SP ID columns as a unique ID and an alternate key. the tables are getting associated correctly meaning I can see the correct lookup from table 1 at table 2 lookup column BUT the GUID of the "ONE" table doesn't match the GUID on the lookup at the "MANY" table.

     

    something get terribly wrong when importing using alternate key... HELP!
