Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find a solution or a workaround that will allow me to populate a cell with a record from another table, based on the value of another cell in that table.

Screenshot 2021-02-03 at 09.59.27

Basically I would like to populate a cell in another table with the values of “Type”, but only if the value in “Location” is Finsbury Park.

Would love some help with this.

Cheers!

Populating another table is what I am really looking for as well.
If there are any new information on it, would really love to.

I tried using your concept and run it on automation. In short, it fails. In long, here’s what I did and the result.

This is the base.

And then I make a new ‘View’ (on the left side) called View - Place A only. In this case, I use 'Filters" so that only [Place A] is shown.

Then add automation, with ‘When record enter View’ as the trigger. Select the View - Place A only.

And then the Action is ‘Create Record’ in Table 4

And this is the result …

In short: Scribbles.

The logic should be right, it’s just some implementation problem. If you find out how to do it, please post it. Very interested to know as well as I am looking for similar things.
