Lookup challenges, probably syntax

Hi, I have an app that I created and regardless of where the data is stored, I cannot seem to get the lookup right anymore.

Here's an example of attempting to pull the contact's first name from my contacts table. I tried a couple different ways.

LookUp(contacts,contacts_id=Parent.Default,first_name)

Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @ez1138 ,

Your syntax is incorrect

Also, where are you using this?

Parent.Default doesn't work like that

Let's say you have an ID of the Contact

Then your code will be,

LookUp(contacts, contacts_id = contactID.Text, ThisRecord.first_name)

Note: Your source and field name should be correct. It will throw error if something is not matched.

Hope this helps

Cool. That helped. Here's what worked well.

LookUp(contacts, contacts_id = contacts_id, ThisRecord.first_name)
