Displaying data from lookup column dynamically in Power App

[Patryk_0909]

Hello!

I creating a new power app, which using Sharepoint List. The app will be show a new alerts (fetched from SP list). I have main list with alerts and second list with descriptions, each new alert gets alertID (10 defined alertID). In second list I have the same name of column, with the same alertID. I’ve created lookup column for alertID, but I can’t fill the field in main list dynamically, I need make it manually. I’d like get an effect like that: bind alertID in two lists and get description in lookup column dynamically in other to display this in my power app. Do you have any ideas?

Hi @Patryk_0909 ,

You cannot refer to elements such as list and field names dynamically - need to (as you have noted) hard-code it. The quickest way would be a Switch() statement
