Cant search datatable for value

[Bottlefury]

Hi.  Apologies for this question I am a PowerApps newbie.  Im trying to search to see if a value exists in a datatable.

My code is: If(CountRows(Filter(Table1.Column1,varScan in Table1.Column1)) > 0,"Exist","Does Not Exist")

VarScan has a code in however even if it's not in the table it comes up as Exists.  I think I have my naming's are wrong - or the search itself is completely wrong. 

I have a DataTable2.  Within that the Data Items is set to Table1.  Within that I have a column called Records - however the only way I can get a search string without errors is by using the above code. But it doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Hi @Bottlefury ,

Try this format

If(
   !IsBlank(
      LookUp(
         Table1,
         Column1 = varScan
      ).Column1
   ),
   "Exist",
   "Does Not Exist"
)
