Look Up and Filter to Return Choice Column Data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 365

Hello,

 

I am trying to use a LookUp to return a record's choice column data. When using the LookUp, I have the function working; however, I want to insert a Filter function to use a delegated function in case the list ever gets much larger that way the function continues to work. The function should LookUp a record from the list of Filtered records (there should only be one record) and return the Item Status. It will check a text column and return a choice column data. Here's the LookUp:

 

LookUp('Device Inventory List','Serial Number'=DataCardValue17.Text,'Item status'.Value)

 

Now I have done LookUp and Filter with success before, but if I copy the function format that I have used before, it's giving an error "The function LookUp has some invalid arguements". Here is the function:

 

LookUp(Filter('Device Inventory List','Serial Number'=DataCardValue17.Text),'Item status'.Value)

 

What am I missing that this function isn't working here but my other times using something similar do work?

    Hi @ngreen 

    Filter using Combo box

     

    With(
     {
     sData: Filter(
     DataSource,
     IsBlank(ComboBox1.SelectedItems.Value) || IsEmpty(ComboBox1.SelectedItems) || ChoiceColumnName.Value = ComboBox1.Selected.Value
     )
     }, 
     sData
    )

    It's in the original post: "The function LookUp has some invalid arguements"

    Hi @ngreen 

     

    If you know only one then we can use First without Delegation

     

    With(
     {
     theList: Filter(
     'Issue tracker',
     Title="Test"
     )
     },
     First(theList).Priority.Value
    )
