Did anyone used the function “Array contains element”, as for me, it seems to have a little bug. If I have only numbers in the array and I try to find a number it doesn’t work, the moment I add also a letter, it works … but I only if I want to find letters … and I don’t need letters 😅 Some suggestions or can we report this little bug ? ---

Hola! Yes, there is a problem but when the array is created by a Make Array or Split Text column. Instead by using a Lookup, everything works perfectly: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/a/aa0088cd578308f0e9b020a11773b00f8f21620e.png) here the case using a Split Text column. the plugin fails… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/f/fff254cee02b8de22bf4b7ae5a340e80322373db.png) Saludos! ---

but lookup uses the values in a single column and I need the values from multiple columns. I think the approach is different and I can’t get those to in a column, as the values are assign in a row … So, this isn’t a solution for me… but thanks for the help. do you know if this could be fixed in the next period ? ---
