====== LookupGlobalValue ======

This function accepts //Lookup table names// (Translation table for sizes or color codes), //article number// (Keys) and a //Description// (Key Descriptions) as arguments and returns the associated //Lookup values// (Translation values) from the Lookup table. 
The table fields are recreated if they do not exist in the lookup table. //LookupGlobalValue// does not search in the partner-specific translation tables, but uses global translation tables in the search. 

==== Syntax: ====

<code>LookupGlobalValue('LookupTabellenNamen','Key')</code>
<code>LookupGlobalValue('LookupTabellenNamen','Key', 'Description')</code>

{{:images:sign_warning.png?nolink|}}**Note:** Existing lookup entries are not overwritten and also not enriched with the label!
==== Sample: ====

<code>LookupGlobalValue('currencies','5')</code>
<code>LookupGlobalValue('currencies','5','currency Switzerland')</code>
This function call returns CHF, provided that the entry //CHF/// exists for the lookup value //5//. 

==== Another example ====

In order to be able to evaluate the most common currency abbreviations, we create a global main look table //currencies//. To do this, we must first create a [[en:transformation:werteprovider:start|ValueProvider]] and enter the appropriate translation values. Then create a [[en:transformation:wertetabellentypen:anlegen|LookupTable]] and make it global. Now enter the country code in the LookupTable under //Key// and select a value from the //ValueProvider// under //ValueEntry//. 
Now you can use the function 
<code>LookupGlobalValue ('currencies',' 5')</code>
within a mappingrule under Test Selection.
