I’m trying pass a string as a field - which I’m pretty sure I’ve seen @kuovonne explain someone else that it’s possible.


const mainCur = base.getTable("Contacts").getView("Currency");

const mainCurMatchField = 'Currency name'



const mainCurrencyConversion = async (tableView, matchField) => {

    let selectRecords, gbp, eur, usd



    selectRecords = await tableView.selectRecordsAsync();

     gbp, eur, usd] = await getConversion('test')



    for (let record of selectRecords.records){

        console.log(record.getCellValue(matchField))

       

    }

    

};



await mainCurrencyConversion(mainCur, mainCurMatchField)

I’m trying to get record.getCellValue(matchField) to use ‘Currency name’ as field name. I’ve tried to wrapped it in {}, but so far I’ve been out of luck.


Is this possible or is it me who got this wrong?


I don’t see where matchField has been defined.

Hi @Kim_Trager1 - I think you are on the right lines. I know this isn’t you exact scenario, but this works for me:


let table = base.getTable('Table 1');

let query = await table.selectRecordsAsync();



let myField = 'Name of Person';



let results = (field) => {

    for (let record of query.records) {

        console.log(record.getCellValue('Name of Person'))

        console.log(record.getCellValue(field))

    }

}



results(myField);

based on this table:



So referring to the field by its name explicitly or by passing its name through as an argument in the function gives me the same output.

Hi @JonathanBowen - Bizzare I tried so many things - except apparently from the most straight forward way.


But thanks for pointing out the obvious to me


Um, yeah - I see, it is defined here:


await mainCurrencyConversion(mainCur, mainCurMatchField)
