Microsoft Dataverse - Compare String x Lookup

[aldirjr]

Hello,

I have a Payments table with a Lookup field with the Clients name. And I have the Clients table.

How do I compare 'John Smith' from the Payments table, with 'John Smith' of the Clients table?

When I try to compare, I end up comparing 'a4gg8e53-1c03-ae22-b823-800d3a795771' (Payments table) with 'John Smith' (Clients Table)

Thank you!

Hi @aldirjr :

a4gg8e53-1c03-ae22-b823-800d3a795771 is the unique identifier in the table, I assume the table corresponding to this lookupfield is the Clients Table. Then you need to use this unique identifier to find the corresponding record in the Clients Table (use the Filter array action, and then use the First function to get the first record returned), and then use the value of the Clients name in this record to go and ' John Smith' comparison.

I think this link will help you a lot:
