I have 2 concatenated calculated value fields,  cvaA & cvaAA in List A and a concatenated calculated value field, cvaB, in List B.  In both lists the concatenated values are the same types of information (single line text).  I want to use the value cvaA to lookup in List B to return the value in column SerialNumber.  Is this possible to do?

The user enters values into 2 fields thus the concatenation being done in cvaA of List A.

I have a Lookup defined on the calculated value field - cvaAA :  lookup("Certs", "cvaB", cvaAA, "SerialNumber")

Not working I receive  #value!  on the form.

(List B does have the same values in its concatenated calculated value field for lookup testing.)

yes, this should be possible.

if you get value error, it looks like formula definition/syntax is not correct. check correct spellings/names of list and fields.

is the list being looked up on the same site as the list on which you run the form?
