Hi,

I am looking up a value from a linked record which works fine, however, when I tried to use UPPER({Look Up}) in another field I just get an error.

I am just looking to understand why that would not work and am I missing something simple.

It works for me, ¿what type of field is the one where your put UPPER function?

Hi,

I was using the UPPER() on a look-up from the linked record, not directly on the linked field, would that make a difference?

Oh excuse me, I think the problem is that the lookup returns an Array, and UPPER() expects a String.

You can ‘stringify’ if by adding &'' to the field name, or using the CONCATENATE() function.

Perfect! Thank you for that :thumbs_up:
