I am very new to Powerapps and Dataverse, so far I had been doing good until i tried to build summary page, 
 
the main deal is that I tried to do this 
 
ClearCollect(
    UserMainRecords,
   Filter(AID_Tbl_RMains, Rm_Empl_IP_FK.Empl_IP_PK = "1234567")
)
 
to create a collection with records that meet this criteria,  so that later on I could do some type of summary operation, the main problem is that i get a collection back that is filtered but without any data, and that one column I am filtering has that error displayed.  what am I doing wrong 
I have the same question (0)

    now I get  The '.' operator cannot be used on Error values.
     
    basically it refuses to see the column

    after much sweating and dotting, rewriting and experimenting we arrived at this 
     
    ClearCollect(
        RMainsWithDetails,
         ShowColumns(
                AddColumns(
                    ShowColumns(
                        Filter(
                            AID_Tbl_RMains,
                            z1a8r_Rm_Empl_IP_FK.Empl_Email = "MPerez@pancanal.com"  // Replace with specific email or use User().Email
                        ),
                        z1a8r_rm_id_pk,         // Only brings RM_ID_PK
                        z1a8r_rm_date,           // Only brings Rm_Date
                        z1a8r_Rm_Empl_IP_FK      
                   
                ),
                    EmployeeEmail, z1a8r_Rm_Empl_IP_FK.Empl_Email  // Adds EmployeeEmail from lookup field
     
            ),
            EmployeeEmail,
            z1a8r_rm_date,
            z1a8r_rm_id_pk
     
         )
     
    );
     
    I had to add the second show columns because on the first ShowColumns it was bringing this z1a8r_Rm_Empl_IP_FK column with a question mark in it, however since it was bringing the rest of the data I was happy and proceeded to filter that column out . 
     
    if someone con please explain to mw why this kind of sort of work i would really appreciate it

    How did you link your tables?
    Is Rm_Empl_IP_FK.Empl_IP_PK defined as lookup column or are you manually maintaining the relationships?

    they are not lookup columns,  when I did that the first time it was giving me even more headaches, however they were defined as keys and  relationships created
