Hi @david!

I am trying to use the Basic Table Component with some lookup field that I created directly in the data view.

I don’t know why but the table doesn’t show the values that are already in the data view. The rest of the values appear in the table without trouble.

Do you know what could be happening?

Thank you

Your reference column is empty, so there is nothing to lookup:
