    Hi, 
     
    Unfortunately the Microsoft documentation is out of date, the function syntax is different now. 

    I recommend you to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJd7DDzZ5T4

    Let me know if that helps! 
    Anthony.

    Hi,
     
    That was for power flow, I need the fx formula for the creation of a lookup on column, for the creation of the power app.

    What exactly is DateObserved ? The formula is correct (although you can use Today() instead of Now() if there is no time factor involved)  if that is a Date Variable. If it is a field value, you may need ThisItem.DateObserved.
