I’m trying to bring the Customer’s (_ComputedName) into an “open orders” list.

I created a slice for “Open Orders” and pull the data from the [Order Info] table based on “Status”.

This is working great.

Now I want to add the Customer’s name to the listing on the app.

I assume I need to create a virtual column with this name.

I created one and have tried every way I could to bring in the customer’s name.

I just can’t seem to figure it out.

I can get a list of every customer in that field and display it, but not one that is specific to that OrderID.

So for clarity sake, I have [CustomerInfo] table that has the cust info in it. And connected from that as a child is the [Order Info] table that has the order details including it’s “Status”.

Does that make sense?

@Aleksi_Alkio I’m not following you.

On my “Open Orders” view what should I be using for the section that is being “flagged”?

[Kevin_Richard]

@Aleksi_Alkio I’m not following you.

Where the computed name comes in and gets “flagged” for a lack of better term is actually where I computed it myself and not from [_ComputedName], I can’t use [CustomerID] for that screen because that would mean nothing to anyone looking at the screen.

Ok, I think I figured it out.

I’m using a very convoluted expression but it’s working.

I am getting odd triangle ! marks on my app next to the computed names.

But I used:

=CONCATENATE(ANY(SELECT(CustomerInfo[First Name] , [_THISROW].[CustomerID]=[CustomerID]))," ",ANY(SELECT(CustomerInfo[Last Name] , [_THISROW].[CustomerID]=[CustomerID])))

Here is what I’m speaking of.

[Aleksi_Alkio]

You can call the name with the deref expression like [CustomerID].[_ComputedName]

@Aleksi_Alkio When I used “_ComputedName” in the expression above it would say “column not found”, I guess because it’s technically a virtual column it might not be computed except when that table is being directly referenced?

Total guess.

I’m still curious about those hazard exclamation point things on my app now.

[Aleksi_Alkio]

May I ask what is the app name and the account ID? Is it okay if I check your app?

Because you are using the virtual column [_ComputedName] as a label, you could use just the [CustomerID] on your Order Info table.

[Aleksi_Alkio]

It won’t show the [CustomerID] itself because the [_ComputedName] is a label column in your table.
