This is not all that of a noob problem. I get this question all the time!
Take a look at this. Esp. The second option if you already have a clients table.
It took me a while to realise too, absolutely normal because this is a specific way that Coda handles data.
It’s all about using Lookup() and Filter(), often nested within each other. In this case, only use Filter().
Note that I have set the Client column to reference from the Clients Table.
Using you filter example: Filter(Billing Table, Client = thisRow).Amount.Sum()
I’d like to see where in my scenario “Client” is date column and “thisRow” is are two date columns - Ranges (ex. StartDt and EndDt columns).
