Two lookup functions not working

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

hi, i have a problem with the code where there are two lookup functions. When i remove:

DATE >= DateValue1.SelectedDate,
NID = "pla"

and in the second lookup

LID = "A"

The formula works for some cases, but I need these conditions.

With(
 {
 varID: LookUp(
 Filter(
 TABLE,
 AID = "aab",
 DATE >= DateValue1.SelectedDate,
 NID = "pla"
 ),
 ITEMID = DataCardValue3.Text,
 ID
 )
 },
 LookUp(
 Filter(
 TABLE2,
 AID = "aab",
 LID = "A"
 ),
 PDID = varID,
 IID
 )
)

I think that problem is in a DateValue1.SelectedDate, because in the database, a column with date have a dd.mm.yyyy format. And DateValue1.SelectedDate return date in dd/mm/yyyy format.

Hi @Anonymous ,

What is your data source? If is is SharePoint, as long as the date is stored in a Date/Time field, it does not matter what format you are displaying it in as the Date Picker underlying date is in the same format as the List date.

Try the code below - also you do not need Filter if you are doing a Lookup.

With( { varID: LookUp( TABLE, AID = "aab" && DATE >= DateValue1.SelectedDate && NID = "pla" && ITEMID = DataCardValue3.Text ).ID }, LookUp( TABLE2, AID = "aab" && LID = "A" && PDID = varID ).IID )

@Anonymous ,

Firstly, can you please state your data source in every post you do, as it will often affect the response significantly - please take a few minutes to read this guide

Did you try the code I posted?

Unfortunately, I can not. I tried the code but it still doesn't return any results, you can only see a constantly loading bar at the top of the page. I have one more question if the function returns more than one result, could this affect the display of the data? Therefore, it does not display any record? I created a similar query in Excel, but there I use distinct to eliminate duplicate records. Maybe there is simply too much of this data? When I add distinct in excel to the query, it returns 4 records to me, without distinct, I get over 30

This appears to be a duplication of this post, which I have commented on beneath.

Also, could you clarify the SQL data type of [Table].[Date]? Is a datetime column, or is it a text/varchar/nvarchar column?

[Table].[Date] is a datetime column.

If that's the case, the 'view' suggestion in my other post will broadly work without any additional adaptation. As @WarrenBelz says, if the underlying data type is Datetime, the format doesn't matter.

I would also suggest that you post screenshots of your actual data if that is possible, because it's very difficult to establish the output that you actually require based on formula that doesn't work, especially now it appears that you want to return only distinct results.

unfortunately, I don't know how to solve this problem even by creating a view in SQL
