I’ve created a Coda for Job searches where I’ve connected two tables: ‘Applications’ and ‘Interviews’.
Within the Application table I have a column called ‘Application Month’ and within the Interviews table of have a column called ‘Interview Month’
I’m trying to create a chart with a Horizontal axis of Months and values showing total Applications vs total Interviews.
Since the Horizontal Axis requires me to pick an existing Column, I have put ‘Application Month’, however that will place the interviews in the month when the application happened, rather than when the interview happened.
Is there a way to display the total Applications in the months they happened, next to the total Interviews in the months they happened?
Hi @differentspin If at all possible are you able to share your copy or a working model of your doc so we can look at a visual of what you are trying to achieve? It sounds like this may be a exploration in reverse lookups, but I won’t be sure until I see what you are working with! Thanks so much for any clarity you can provide! Best, Dan
Thanks for your response. I’ve created a dummy version of the table here. Ideally, I want to combine the ‘Applications by Month’ and ‘Interviews by Month’ into one table. Let me know if you need edit access.
If I understand correctly what you want to do, you would need to create a “Summary table by year and months” and then, using lookup fields, you would need to link that new table to your [Applications by Status] table and your Interviews table …
Once each application and interview is linked to a month from the summary table, all you need to do is get back those rows from your 2 tables in the Summary one… And all that’s left is to create a chart view of this table to display the number of applications and interviews by months …
I copied your dummy doc (Thanks for sharing ) and modified it a little to illustrate what I just said above …
Other than adding the “summary” table I just converted both text fields you already had and used to determine the Application month and Interview month in the tables [Applications by Status] and Interviews into lookup fields …
(I’ve also added a conditional formatting to the Summary table so you could easily pin-point those “new” lookup fields in your different tables )
I’m a bit too short on time to give you more info though …
In the meantime, I still hope this helps
