Reports Showing Lookup Cells

I've created a report that needs to show the contents of a lookup cell. How
can I get it to show the text in the lookup cell instead of the ID number the
lookup is connected to?
 
Reference the coloumn number of the lookup cell instead of just the lookup cell

=[LookUpCellName].[Column](1)
 
The cell in the report that has the name [Main Menu].[Line] is the lookup
cell. It gives a drop down menu in the tables that goes to [Line].[Line].
When I tell the report to refrence to =[Main Menu].[Column](4) and run the
report it prompts me to enter something much like a parameter query would
with [Main Menu] being the parameter. When I make the report reference to
=[Line].[Column](1) it prints #Name? on the report where the line name should
be. What am I doing wrong?
