Hi cameroon 

In this case, the Source step is returning a record with a single field whose name corresponds to fldPhase2ID.

 

Either of these should work for the Phase to find step:

1. Return the value of the field whose name corresponds to the value of fldPhase2ID:

#"Phase to find" = Record.Field( Source, Text.From( fldPhase2ID ) )

or

#"Phase to find" = Record.FieldValues( Source ){0}

 

I would probably recommend method 1.

Does this work for you?
