Hello,
I have a form that is connected to a Sharepoint List for an approval process. This list is used to capture the inputs from our sales folks. Within the form, I have a field Cust_ID. When a rep inputs the Cust_ID, I'd really like the Cust_Name field to populate the name of the Customer. My Customer Master list is in a different data source. I have this in an excel table and a sharepoint list. for the life of me cannot figure this out. any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you so much
Hi @denbmoore ,
Is your data kept in 2 places an excel file and a sharepoint list ? Or do you have same data in them ?
Use on Default property of the textinput under customer_name the following:
LookUp(My_Customer_Master_data_source,ID=Cust_ID).CustomerNameColumn
For that you need to be sure that all users of your app have at least read access to My_Customer_Master_data_source
Thank you, I'll try it out. I have the customer master in both types, excel and sharepoint. I didnt know if there were advantages in either so I have them duplicated. I'll try it out. THank you so much
@gabibalaban. The excel file that i want to lookup the Customer name is DenCustomerMaster. the form is connected to a Sharepoint list. I have both as connectors. I tried the following formula and I have some arguments. Again, I apologize if this is a dumb question but I appreciate your help.
LookUp('ExcelOnline(Business)'.GetItem(ThisItem.'Customer Name',....... it asks for the file, which is not shown, then table,id,source,idColumn). Any advise how to to pull from the excel file?
Well ..the easiest way is to put the excel file in OneDrive for Business. Please take care that your data in Excel has to be structured as defined table.
The file is in OneDrive and the data is in a table. I'm not sure how to fetch the data in the file with the parameters of the lookup function.
my bad, Onedrive is disabled from our administrators, we kind of have it due to MSFT teams and Sharepoint. I went ahead and used your formula with my Sharepoint List. (Cust_Master) It is close. It is referencing the columns within the sharepoint list but how can I tie it to the customer number field in the form? also, receiving this error
LookUp(Cust_Master,ID=CUSTOMER_ID).CUSTOMER_NAME
It seems that one of your value is text and the other one is numeric inside the lookup function (the small blue line tell me this).
So let's try using this (it might give you a delegation warning):
LookUp(Cust_Master,ID=Value(CUSTOMER_ID)).CUSTOMER_NAME
It did give me a delegation error. Should I try changing the Customer number field to "text"?
They are all set to text values in fields
