    Hi,

    Yes it is possible to get target entity from c# code...

    Lookup is of Entity reference and EntityReference has LogicalName property which will give you target entity name of lookup field.

    Example

    EntityReference owner=(EntityReference)entity["ownerid"];

    string entityName=owner.LogicalName;

    Please mark my answer verified if i were helpful

    Hello,

    Where do you use it? Is it report or code?
