Obtaining a value from a Lookup column in a Dataverse table

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 373

Hi all,

 

I have several Dataverse tables in my app. One table lists assets, another lists sites. The asset table has a column to mark which site the asset belongs to, with a lookup column to the Sites table.

 

I have an existing flow which creates an XML file by taking a list of column values from each item in the asset table. That all works fine. The flow uses the Dataverse List Rows action with the column names listed comma-separated in the action.

 

I wanted to add another column from the same table to the flow - the name of the site the asset is at. I can see by looking at the column's details that the column's Logical Name is crbbc_sitename, but when I add this column to the flow, the flow fails with a Bad Request error, saying that there's no column of that name in the table?

 

Should I be using the RelationshipName value? If so that seems to be a bit of a problem too as the value is so long it doesn't all display in the Column Editor. Edit: I tried that and it didn't work either.

 

thanks

 

Martin

    Hi @Martin_W ,

     

    I think below blog could help:

    List Rows, Select Columns, and Lookup field – Power Automate / Dataverse – Nishant Rana's Weblog

     

    Best regards,

    Hi,

    The options in the blog got me a bit further but ultimately didn't work. It returned what I assume is the GUID of the lookup value rather than the actual value itself.

     

    Edit: Actually it did work, but I was looking in the wrong place for the answer!

    thnaks,

     

    Martin
