Last Location of an Item

[Abraham_Gluck]

Hello, Thanks in advance for reading my post.

I have a table which includes a list of equipment, and then I have another table that contains dates of bookings (a booking is per day), location of booking and other fields.
I would like to be able to see on the first table the last location of a booking and it’s date.
Is that possible to do?

Hey Abraham! Yes, if you use a few fields together. The most important of them is a linked record field, which connects the two tables. Once that’s set up, you can use a rollup field to sort associated dates by most recent. And then (optionally) a formula field to pluck the first date from that list.

I found a similar post that has a template base that does almost the same

Actually, the two procedures to which you linked are overkill for what Frank appears to want to do. For his purposes, simple roll-up fields should do the trick. Take a look at the last two columns in this base, {First Order} and {Latest Order}. (The other columns illustrate the more-involved construction explained in your linked posts.) Thanks, Vann
