Posted on by 125

Hello everyone,

can anyone help me with the following issue?
I want to lookup a value(not present in office365 user profile) on a text field according to the employee selected on people picker. I tried several options but nothing is working.

    I tried several one:

    1. lookup(sp list, column=datacarddropdown, column) 
    2. lookup(sp list, column=datacarddropdown.selected).column

    The error message is: Imcompatible type comparison. Text vs Record

    Well the issue is that in the Lookup the column value is returning a text value while the drop-down list returns a record. If your drop-down list items are people picker use the code

    LookUp(SPList, column = datacarddropdown.Selected.Name).column
