invalid argument type from SPO list lookup (table data type) says it's expecting text

[rnorris]

So I have a powerapp form with combo box named Division which data comes from a SPO lookup list. That list is Divisions and has 3 columns: ID, Divisions, and DivMgr. 

The next field I'm calling DivMgr and it is a single line of text in the SPO list. For the Default for that Text Input field I'm trying the following "If(Division.Selected.Id = Divisions.ID, Divisions.'DivMgr0')" 

What magic syntax do I need to find a table record and push that into a text field?

Many thanks for any assistance in advance (with kudos to follow)!

Hi @rnorris ,

Try this

Lookup(
   Divisions,
   ID=ThisItem.ID
).'DivMgr0'

@WarrenBelz ,

Well that doesn't produce any errors, but the DivMgr text box does not show any value either. 

Eventually I'll hide this anyway, cause I just need it populated so I can make use of the dynamic value in the flow that follows.

... so I ended up using a lookup in a hidden field, then putting that field into my DivMgr field like so:

LookUp(Divisions, Division=Edit_Division.Selected.Value, 'Division Manager'.Email) 

Where "Divisions" is a dataset, and "Division" and "Division Manager" are columns in the lookup list, and "Edit_Division" is a combo box name that points to the main SPO list.
