When I have two tables (Customer and Order) and Order has an SPS Lookup column to link to customer I can use the Lookup function in PowerApps to display customer information in a Gallery of Orders.
For example: Assuming ThisItem is an Order:
Lookup(Customer, ID = ThisItem.Customer_Id, 'Company Name')
works just fine.
But with a One-to-Many relationship, using SPS Lists to store the relationships, I cannot get the nested lookup to work.
For Example, with the addition of a Service list and a Ordered_Service
list, I can link an unlimited number of services to an Order
, by storing order_id
and service_id
in my SPS list using lookup columns.
But when I attempt to do lookup the ServiceName
from an Order Gallery, I am unsuccessful
Lookup(Service, ID = Lookup(
ordered_service,
order_id = ThisItem.ID, service_id),
Service_Name)
I've tried using both the order_id.Id
and order_id.Value
and wrapping both sides of my condition in Text()
and always get 2 Invalid Type errors and a Delegation Warning.
I'd like to know how to properly do this Lookup and I can modify the List relationships if needed.
NOTE: I assume using SQL this would likely work better, but its not an option.
Thanks!
Took a break. Worked out. Sat back down. figured it out.
^^ That should be a standard answer for all questions. ;-)
You have to wrap ALL the things in Text()
AND use .Value
on all not .ID
(that is primary Key) fields.
Lookup(Service, Text(ID) = Text(Lookup(
ordered_service,
Text(order_id.Value) = Text(ThisItem.ID),
service_id.Value)),
Service_Name)
