Is it possible to generate text from a table?
A minimum example would be something like:
Table:
Text pattern:
[Task Owner] in [Tasks] will take care of [Sub-tasks]
Desired Output:
“John in Task 1 will take care of Sub task 1”
“Jeoff in Task 2 will take care of Sub task 2”
“Jeoff in Task 2 will take care of Sub task 3”
I’m really new to Coda and don’t know it’s the right tool to achieve such functionalities.
Hi there @Giuseppe_Birardi 
! Welcome to Coda 
and to the Community 
!
It is doable but depending where you want to put your desired output, it might require some adjustments .
So, in the sample below, I’ve kind of reproduce your screenshot and to get your desired results, in the table Subtasks I’ve created the Reference fields [Tasks] and [Activity Owner] both of which just show those info you’ve entered in your Tasks table .
(Sorry, I’m enable to find another way to say this 
)
Now, on the canvas of my sample, you’ll see 3 very similar canvas formulas .
They do the same thing but one keep the reference to your [Activity Owner], [Tasks] and [Subtasks] and the other don’t and the last one creates a Bulleted List .
The formulas looks like this :
Subtasks.FormulaMap(Format("{1} in {2} will take care of {3}",CurrentValue.[Activity Owner],CurrentValue.Tasks,CurrentValue)).Join(Character(10))
Put into words, it kind of says :
For each subtasks (FormulaMap()) in the Subtasks table (each specific Subtask is represented by CurrentValue), follow this text pattern (Format()) and then, join them (Join()) using a Character(10) (Character()).
Character n°10 in Unicode is the one for a line feed/Newline (so each Subtasks the formula uses begins with a newline, otherwise, the text is just displayed inline in the formula on the canvas )
And concerning the Format() formula, here :
{1} = CurrentValue.[Activity Owner]
(the owner of this specific Subtask in the list of all Subtasks)
{2} = CurrentValue.Tasks
(the Task linked to that specific Subtask in the list of all Subtasks)
{3} = CurrentValue
(the specific Subtask in the list of all Subtasks)
The list of all Subtasks being the Subtasks table .
And just in case, if you need more info about FormulaMap(), take a look at this topic here . It helped me a lot with this specific formula !
Hi @Pch , thanks a lot for your examples! It really clarifies me how coda works with tables. I’ll try to dive into FormulaMap() and see if i can obtain my desired output.
You’re Welcome @Giuseppe_Birardi !
Good luck with FormulaMap() 
!
Depending on how you use Coda, this is a formula you might never encounter or barely use, but it’s an important one and not necessarily the easiest to grasp 
.
Fortunately, the examples and explanations from other users in the topic I shared in my previous reply are very helpful .
I got procedural proramming, then object orientation was ok. Never really got into functional, and now CODA has a complete different structure. I’m getting to old for this…
We’re never too old to learn new things

Life would be pretty boring if it was the case (IMHO).
