Sorry if my question was a bit messy but yeah, you understood it right.

 

I want a column to look values from another "table", where this table is in the common data model. At least in my tenant I cannot understand how to do that (I can look up a value from another list in sharepoint, no probs).

I wonder if it is a) just not possible now b) not possible now but will be later or c) possible now if you do it in a certain way.

 

Thanks for your help.

    Hi Paul,

     

     

    Thanks for this. I want to do exactly this except for when she selects lookup (at 1:45), she has her customers in a SPO list and I have them in the common data model (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-powerapps-common-data-model/).

     


    I just realized that one way to do it is by doing a flow that sends sends new entries in the common data model to a sharepoint list. This is a decent workaround I guess.
