Thanks @shanebp for the guidance. I read some about add_action and manage to get the function to work as desired.

For people interested, this is what I did. I created a custom function that follows:

add_action( 'bp_ready', 'custom_function' );

// The ID of the field, or the $name of the field. 
function custom_function($user_id){
	$field = 'fieldname'; 
	  
	// How should array data be returned? 'comma' if you want a 
	// comma-separated string; 'array' if you want an array. 
	$multi_format = 'comma'; 
	  
	// NOTICE! Understand what this does before running. 
	$result = xprofile_get_field_data($field, $user_id, $multi_format); 
	return $result;
}

The main function that I wanted to get the profile data was then called.

Have a great day!

Thanks @shanebp for the answer!

I can understand this. But if I change to this code:

add_action( 'bp_ready', 'hisgen_check' );
function hisgen_check() {	
   return xprofile_get_field_data( 'Yrkesroll', 1, 'comma' );
}
echo hisgen_check();

Would that work then? I’ve tried several combination of this without success..
