Add "does not equal" condition in FlowField lookup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello all,

I'm trying to add a FlowField to the Job Ledger Entry table that looks up the Item # in the Item table where the Description values match. However I only want it to do this if the Description value in the Job Ledger Entry table is NOT blank. Below code gives you an idea of what I've been trying to do. Is it possible to add this condition in the lookup?

tableextension 60003 JobLedgerEntry extends "Job Ledger Entry"
{
    fields
    {
        field(60000; "Part No. Ref."; Code[20])
        {
            FieldClass = FlowField;
            CalcFormula = lookup("Item"."No." where(Description = field(Description), Description <> const('')));
        }
    }
}

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.
