Invalid filter clause: unsupported operation in Lookup Function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hi I get this error when trying to use a Lookup function with a single = (eq) as the expression

Error when trying to retrieve data from the network: Invalid filter clause: unsupported operation. Only single 'eq', 'ne', 'contains', 'startswith' or 'endswith' is currently supported.

I only use one eq in the Lookup so I'm not sure what the issue is. A different post with a similar issue suggested that PowerApps gets confused if columns are named the same so I made my input collection and my datasource have unique column names. Here's the full code, the issue is on the first Lookup clause. I tried hardcoding the lookup i.e. dbEquipment = "Test" but it still didn't work. I believe the Filter inside is working as I can see a preview of it in PowerApps. AutoData is my datasource, an excel table. Any help is appreciated

    Firstly, try this
    ForAll(
       Gallery5.AllItems As _Items,
       Patch(
          AutoData,
          If(
             !IsBlank(_Items.Equipment) && EditMode,
             LookUp(
                AutoData,
                dbProjectName = _Items.tiProjectName.Text && dbEquipment = "Test"
             ),
             Defaults(AutoData)
          ),
          {
             dbProjectName: _Items.tiProjectName.Text,
             dbEquipment: _Items.Equipment,
             dbComplexity: _Items.Dropdown2.SelectedText.Value,
             dbClassOrInstance: _Items.Dropdown2_1.SelectedText.Value,
             dbNumUnits: _Items.tiNumUnits.Text,
             dbUnitCost: _Items.tiCost_3.Text,
             dbIO: _Items.tiIO.Text,
             dbTotalCost: _Items.tiCost.Text
          }
       )
    );
    Navigate(scrAutoHome);

    Hi, thanks for the response. This code works. The issue is my datasource is Excel, so the && operator is not delegable. Nesting the Filter in the Lookup was my was of trying to workaround the && operator.

    Excel is going to cause you more problems than that - do you have access to SharePoint ?
