OK a Newbie here, though I’ve made an appsheet app many years before. I wanted to dive in deep but stuck at the essentials. It might seem stupid, but on the image you can see the arrow where I clicked on insert and you see what it says above. This app is a clone of IT Ticketing sample from appsheet. Similar things happened like “cannot find column ‘Technicians’ do you mean ‘Technicians’?” any link you may suggest reading? What I am trying to do here is get the Name value from the source sheet technicians, where ‘name’ matches ‘email’ row and hopefully on my next step of the expression : matches the useremail() . To put it another way : I want to bring the Name field from the Technicians sheet (or table should I say - it’s a bit confusing here) using useremail() .Thanks in advance.
[Technicians] in your expression is a name of a column not a table. You have to do some revisions
but it’s easy.
Just read these guides please and you’ll easily get it:

Yeah that data explorer thing is a little wonky.
It’s a great idea, but like… deployed at 68% functionality. ![]()
Honestly I think you’re better off NOT using that thing to insert your column names
-
instead go to your data source and just copy the name of the column
-
Boom… done. No typos, no issues, no wasted time.
- Click click click (to get to the sheet),
- copy,
- click back to the app,
- paste.
- Done

Hi @vaiari , you might want to try the LOOKUP() function for your specific purpose.

Many thanks to @Joseph_Seddik @pravse @MultiTech . There’s for sure something’s glitchy.
