Join Using a LookupField about sharepointplus

Hi,

To join two lists, you need to have the same information in both columns. However lstPeople.Company will return "ID;#Name", when lstCompagnie.ID returns just "ID". So they are different....

You can try creating a new column in lstCompanies that concatanes "ID" with "Name" to create "ID;#Name". To do so, you'll have to create a workflow that save this value on creation/update to the new column.

Make sense ?

Hi! Thank you very much for the feedback.

Applying what you said, I am going on the way of storing the Company:ID on the People list and creating an workflow that stores this Company:ID on a column called CompanyId and then joining the two lists by lstPeople.CompanyId = lstCompanies.ID.

What do you think? Instead of joining them between an X;Y = X;Y field, it would be only X=X. It's working and kinda the the same you said. Actually both ways work, but I dont really know what it would be faster or more reliable of the two choices, what do you think?

And thanks a lot again, the sharepointplus is amazing.

It will be the same. So both solutions are good !
