Lookup function using a Text input box to lookup to an Excel Table in a sharepoint library

Good Afternoon all,

 

I am very new to PowerApps and have a problem with a lookup and cant for the life of me figure out why there is an inner exception issue.

 

LookUp ( DL_CE_Logs_combined,'Log Reference' = TXTSiteTrackerLog1.Text,'Project ID')

 

The above is the function I have used, but it keeps telling me there is a Syntax error at position 13.

 

DL_CE_Logs_Combined is my external data source which is connected

'Log reference' is a column within that data set

TXTSiteTrackerLog1 is a Text Input box within the App

'Project ID' is another column that i am trying to return in to a label box

 

Your help is very much appreciated

    Hi @JayGlo80 ,
    If you are using excel as a data source, try removing spaces and special characters in table column name. Delete excel as a data source, make these changes and add it again.
