Default lookup query uses the value instead of lookup Id
The typical query looks like
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name='RefCountry' />
<Value Type='Lookup'>India</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
To query by ID you have o setup LookupId='TRUE' attribute of FieldRef element
<FieldRef Name='RefCountry' LookupId='TRUE' />

How would I achieve that with "IN" clause? e.g. this doesn't work: <View Scope="RecursiveAll"> <Query> <Where> <In> <FieldRef Name="FileRef" /> <Values> <Value Type="Lookup"><![CDATA[/sites/site1/Shared Documents/abc.png]]></Value> </Values> </In> </Where> </Query> <ViewFields> <FieldRef Name="ID" /> <FieldRef Name="FileRef" /> <FieldRef Name="Author" /> <FieldRef Name="Editor" /> </ViewFields> <RowLimit Paged="TRUE">100</RowLimit> </View>– michalhFeb 9, 2018 at 10:07
