Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

i simply try to get the Company Name from XML but it doesn't work for me. My FetchXML looks like this. What is the correct attribute to get the company name?

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="contact">
<attribute name="contactid" />
<attribute name="ownerid" />
<attribute name="parentcustomerid" />
<attribute name="fullname" />
<attribute name="firstname" />
<attribute name="lastname" />
<attribute name="jobtitle" />
<attribute name="telephone1" />
<attribute name="telephone2" />
<attribute name="mobilephone" />
<attribute name="emailaddress1" />
<attribute name="fax" />
<attribute name="department" />
<attribute name="address1_line1" />
<attribute name="address1_line2" />
<attribute name="address1_line3" />
<attribute name="address1_city" />
<attribute name="address1_stateorprovince" />
<attribute name="address1_postalcode" />
<attribute name="address1_country" />
<order attribute="fullname" descending="false" />
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="statecode" operator="eq" value="0" />
</filter>
</entity>
</fetch>

    Hey Dario,

    You can download the XRMToolBox and start FetchXML Builder.

    With this tool you can check the FetchXML and its output(s).

    What do wanna do exactly?

    Hi ,

    As already suggested above  from "parentcustomerid" lookup normally for any contact  parent account or company name. As "parentcustomerid"  field is lookup you need  to retrieve name from once results will retrieve using name property.

    You can refer below references how to retrieve using C# .

    arunpotti.wordpress.com/.../retrieve-records-using-fetchxml-c-sdk-in-crm

    If you are using JavaScript then you can write web api query instead of Fetch XML as well .

    Please share your code if you are still  facing issue.

    Hi,

    "parentcustomerid" is right field for Company Name out of box field of Contact. which you already using.

    but since it is Customer field, if you are trying to find contact and the existing data is account or vise versa then it will return null value. please check and target for right entity based on data.

    also share us how you are using the above fetch - Console/JS etc.
