I have been reading that post but still not able to make it work.
I may not have explained myself clearly enoughin my first post, sorry about that. Let me try to clarify what I am trying to acomplish with some pictures:
I have a main table with all the data to be procesed. For example:
From that table, I want to auto-generate two more tables, like these:
I think that, once I have the tables (CARS & BIKES) autogenerated with row values for the first column (color) I will be able to populate the other columns using lookup querys for count & sum but is this firts step (auto populate first column depending on the unique colours) that is driving me crazy.
I like your approach. Actually I think I am going to use it until I have another (automatic) way.
What I want to achieve is that the secondary tables (CARS&BIKES) are autogenerated with as many rows as unique values exist in the reference column of the main table.This unique values will be placed on the first coumn, and the other columns will be filled automatically using lookup formulas depending on this unique values placed on the first column.
Anyway, until then, I can use your approach so, thank you so much for your help!
i want to do the exact same thing i have three section
Products
Materials
Vendors
in Materials i want to display the product associated with that material , each product in each row but it is show me all values in one row which i dont want it , is it possible ?
this is how my materials section look like now with lookup column of Product Table
and this is what i wanted to be , i made this manually just to make more clear explanation , i am afraid my explanation would not be so clear , as i am not native english speaker , sorry for it. Any help would be appreciated
@Joseph_B Is there a way to autogenerate this? I have two tables I’d like to link, similar to Ruben, but I’d like the second table to autopopulate the rows from the first. Specifically, I’d like “Company Name” from the first table to be auto-populated in the rows on the second table, if the Status of that company name is set to “Diligence”
This can be done by creating a button for the first table and using an automation to push that button daily or hourly. The trick is using the “Disable if” feature in the button so that it only gets clicked if it’s needed.
Here’s a setup that builds on @Joseph_B’s example.
I think the lookup mechanics already include all the necessary features for this, take a look at my approach:
In this case, color in the main table is a lookup from the color table with “allow quick adding of items” enabled. Cars and bikes are lookup tables from the color table. Count and Sum Columns for lookup tables for new vehicles can easily be created by duplicating exisiting columns and slightly modifying the formulas.
If you click the >> just above the title of the page in the sample doc, it will open the left pane.
Then, while hovering the pane with your mouse, you should see a “3 dots menu” (···) next to the title of doc and if you click on it, you should find an option to Copy the doc to your own workspace .
You can also click on Open in Coda and locate the Copy option from there
