Please help. Also tried using Thisrow()[Rep_Name] instead of cell reference B2
Hi @Zuha-ecba, Welcome to Honeycode!
Could you please confirm if Rep_Name column in Reps table is also formatted as a contact? If so, could you please attach a screenshot of that table as well?
Thanks
try this...
=findrow(reps, "reps[rep_name]=%, B2[first name])[rep_country]
I think the issue is that B2 doesn't hold a name. It holds an array, of which, one of the objects is a name. It's really easy to lose track of that with rowlinks.
Thanks Andrew. It worked. Why isnt anything written next to your name like "HoneyCode Specialist" ?

Andrew's solution worked. Thanks anyway Kamran for looking in to it.
Glad it helped!
Edit: Unable to add another post, but wanted to +1 what @Kamran posted below. It's much better to use a unique identifier for these kinds of things like an email address. Or simpler yet, always insert a contact into the cell.
By using the solution provided by @AndrewB , you will be comparing the string version of the first name which can return incorrect row if you have other people named Zohair. Something to keep in mind.
