Hi everyone,
I have a table that has a list of people. There’s a field called “parents”.
I want to create a view on that table that shows only people without children. To do that, I’d use a formula that checks if the person is present on the “parents” field of any record. If the result is false, it means the person is without children.
The problem is that I can’t figure out how formulas can use values from other records. I’m proficient in SQL and to do that I would use the clause "WHERE NOT EXISTS ".

Does anyone have an idea on how to do that?
