Hi everybody,

 

I have a display form with 5 columns but for some reason two of them only show  "[object Object]". The data that they contain is more complex than the others as these are type numbers for electronic which have letters, numbers etc and they're names. 

 

right now i just have 

 

ThisItem.Typenumber 

 

 in  the text option.

 

if anyone could help me that would be awsome.

    Hi @Talha_Dar 

     

    Its simple text Data if that is what you're asking

    You should check the column type of your field. If it's a text data type, it wouldn't display "object object" in the text label.

    If it is an Excel file, I'm unsure about the specific reason for this error. However, I would suggest considering the use of a SharePoint list instead. SharePoint lists offer the ability to choose column types and provide many other features that Excel data sources might not provide.

    Hi @Anonymous 

    If you type a dot after Typenumber, does the Intellisense in the editor suggest any other properties that you can access?

    ThisItem.Typenumber.XXX

    Can you confirm the data type of your TypeNumber field?

     

    If you type First(YourExcelTable).Typenumber, the Intellisense should show the data type as illustrated in the example below.
