Ive got this function, It searches a value on a table column and returns the value for another column on the same row. For some reason, It doesn´t work if the value specified Its a date. The column to search from Its supposed to be a unique index for the function to work properly
@Anonymous Table.Column returns a list of values, are you supplying a list in the value_to_find parameter? If not then you are comparing list against scalar.
It returns a list, but its working inside an each context, wouldn´t that keep a single value from the list?
@AnonymousYup, sorry my bad, I misunderstood the code, if it works for everthing else then you need to supply the date as a date type, how are you doing that right now?
= FxGetValue ( Dates, "Date", #date(2007, 01, 01), "Date")
