Powerapps lookup with same column name

I have the above application. The account drop down is a lookup referring to a different table, specifically a name in another table. This name column can have the same name. I added a label that retrieves currently selected option in the drop down using this " LookUp(Accounts, 'Account Name' = DataCardValue7.Selected.'Account Name').Account)". It retrieves the AccountID which is supposed to be Unique.

 

The problem: Selecting any different "account" with the same name is returning the same account ID Column from the account table in said label, which shouldn't happen. How would I go about solving this? ...

     This is a disambiguation problem.  For more information see https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Disambiguation-on-Lookup-Columns/td-p/756505 .  See if this works for you:

    LookUp(Accounts, Accounts ['@Account Name' ]= DataCardValue7.Selected.'Account Name').Account)
