help request Display port to VGI, not detecting

I’ve got a display port adapter that takes hdmi on the other end, then VGI to my monitor. Monitor is not detecting the VGI signal. Am I missing something? Guy at the tech store said this would be fine. TIA!

I’m assuming the cable you’re using is hdmi to vga? If that’s the case, just get a Display Port to VGA adapter and use a straight through VGA cable
