    <p>I'm trying to display the grandparent of a custom Salesforce Object in a pageblocktable in a Visualforce page.</p> <p>I can display the parent as expected ie: </p> <pre><code>&lt;apex:column headerValue="Related Item Parent"&gt; &lt;apex:outputField id="ItemParent" value="{!item.Parent__c}" /&gt; &lt;/apex:column&gt; </code></pre> <p>works great and gives me a nice table with a 'Related Item Parent' column that is linked to the Item parent exactly as I wanted.</p> <p>but when I try to go up a further level, the Visualforce Page editor tells me</p> <blockquote> <p>Could not resolve the entity from value binding '{!item.Parent_<em>c.Parent</em>_c}'. can only be used with SObject fields.</p> </blockquote> <p>Is there anyway that this can be made to work? I'm a bit stuck!!</p> <p>Below is the complete listing for my pageBlockTable , which works correctly if the Related Item Grandparent column is removed.</p> <pre><code>&lt;apex:pageBlockTable id="RelatedItems" value="{!contact.RelatedItems__r}" var="item"&gt; &lt;apex:column headerValue="Related Item Name"&gt; &lt;apex:outputField id="ItemName" value="{!item.Name}" /&gt; &lt;/apex:column&gt; &lt;apex:column headerValue="Related Item Parent"&gt; &lt;apex:outputField id="ItemParent" value="{!item.Parent__c}" /&gt; &lt;/apex:column&gt; &lt;apex:column headerValue="Related Item Grandparent"&gt; &lt;apex:outputField id="ItemGrandParent" value="{!item.Parent__c.Parent__c}" /&gt; &lt;/apex:column&gt; &lt;/apex:pageBlockTable&gt; </code></pre> <p>Really appreciate any help that anybody can provide.</p> <p>Best regards</p> <p>Pete</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
