Here an example, 

 

Am working with a web called "POC" and I want to retrieve a field from a list named "Countries" from another web called business "BusinessTrip" both under the same site collection:

 

Below the code:

lookup("/BusinessTrip|Countries","Title","Italy","VAT")

Hi,

I don't have a answer yet.

I don't know if the problem is about nintex and sharepoint 365 (On line).

Thanks,

FMS.

Hi @pwarrak 

Thanks for your excellent example. 

 

I have a list that I want to lookup to from a calculated value. It is in the same collection, however the lookup list is at the top site collection level rather than in a different subsite. 

 

I want to get the following:

lookup("/SiteCollectionName|Countries","Title","Italy","VAT") 

from 

subsite. 

 

The example doesn't seem to work for that scenario. Any ideas?
