In other words I have a large table and have data in a column that is not linked to another table but I want to still lookup the data and return a value from another table. A lot like a true excel vlookup.
What is the reason to do that if the tables are not related? I think you must create the Linked Record field.
They are related, but not linked, i have a table that pulls data in from may tables. Based on the info pulled in i will need to look up a value to display. This seems probably to complex but i thought I would ask. So currently the Lookup Cell type asks for a table to look up, i thought it could ask what Column in the Current Table, then what table and then what to return.
starting to ramble.
THank you

I don’t understand nothing on your explanation :grinning_face_with_sweat: Let me try to reply:
Just link them.
So you already have them Linked? :thinking:
You can use a Formula field to “reference” other fields in the same Table, do calculations, logic operations, etc.
Ah, ok, you want to do in reverse order? A field belongs to a Table, so you first need to specify the Table (previously linked, of course).
If you explain your use case or your base structure, I’m sure we could advice you better.
