I have a master Locations table which has a list of locations. Each location then has it's own table that has it's own set of unique records.

I'd like to make a lookup field in the master Locations table that links to all the records in each location. I have made multiple lookup fields for each table, but I'd like to make it a single field with the linked records.

Is this possible?

Hmm, if you're talking about consolidating lookup fields into one, technically, yes, you can do this.  You'd create one lookup field per linked field, and then use a formula field to just consolidate it together with something like:

`{Lookup Field 1} & {Lookup Field 2} & {Lookup Field 3} & {Lookup Field 4}`

If you're looking to have a single linked field that links to multiple tables, then I don't think that's possible, no

I'm curious why you've set the table up this way actually.  It seems likely that each of tables that represent a location share the same fields, and so could we not just merge them all into one table with a single select field to indicate which location it's from?
