Hi all.I would like to use an item in a gallery to find a value from a collection dynamically. I have a lookup that works:LookUp(colTest, ID = varID).'Name'But I would like to use an item from the gallery to determine the name of the column to use in colTest, for example:LookUp(colTest, ID = varID).'ThisItem.Name'I am receiving the error message 'ThisItem.Name' is not recognised, as it is not a column name in colTest.Is there any workaround?
HI @GuMean ,
You would have to hard-code all of that as you cannot refer to column names dynamically.

Thanks. I have saw previous answers saying that hardcoding was the only option...I was hoping that there would be a workaround now.
