#ERROR! when using ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT() on lookup - SOLUTION

I’m new to the airtable community and wasnt sure how to reply to an original post that has been closed. But I found a solution to this #ERROR! when using ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT() on lookup? post.
You can use ENCODE_URL_COMPONENT({lookupFieldThatYouAreTryingToEncode}&"").
This adding (&"") solution is a lot neater than adding another already encoded field to the parent table.
