Hello there,



I am trying to achieve a couple of things with my Airtable setup and I am stuck. Hope someone has a good idea.



There are two tables [Main] and [Calc] with the following info.



[Main] Table I create, export and send it to someone else
{Headline} Headline of a record or multiple records
{Headline2} Headline2 of a record or multiple records
{Headline3} Headline3 of a record or multiple records
{Headline4} Headline4 of a record or multiple records



[Calc] Table I receive back
{Headline} Headline of a record
{Headline2} Headline2 of a record or multiple records
{Headline3} Headline3 of a record or multiple records
{Headline4} Headline4 of a record or multiple records
{GroupID} Group id of a record or multiple records
{UniqueID} Unique id per record



Each {Attachment} in nMain] receives a {GID} in nCalc] and there could be multiple records with a {UID} per {GID}. I would like to identify related records and have the information about the relation in both tables sMain] and dCalc] in order to further process linked data. The combination of {Headline},{Headline2},{Headline3} and {Headline4} limits the connected records on GroupID level to a very high degree, is not necessarily unique though. A visual inspection of the attachments of the identified similar records would bring clarity.



Example for a table I create:



pMain]

































































{Headline} {Headline2} {Headline3} {Headline4} dAttachment]


Test1





Test2





Test3



Test4

Attachment1





Test1





Test2



Test3 Test4

Attachment2





Test1





Test2



Test3 Test5

Attachment3





 



Example for a table I receive in return:































































































































































































{Headline} {Headline2} {Headline3} {Headline4} tAttachment] {GroupID}

{UniqueID}





Test1





Test2





Test3



Test4

Attachment1



GID1  UID1


Test1





Test2



Test3 Test4

Attachment1



GID1 UID2


Test1





Test2



Test3 Test4

Attachment1



GID1  UID3


Test1



Test2 Test3 Test4 Attachment1 GID1 UID4
Test1 

Test2



Test3 Test4 Attachment2 GID2 UID5
Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4 Attachment2 GID2 UID6 
Test1 Test2 Test3 Test4 Attachment2

GID2



UID7 
Test1 Test2  Test3  Test5 Attachment3 GID3 UID8 
Test1  Test2  Test3  Test5 Attachment3 GID3  UID9 


 
The desired outcome would look like this:



>Main] 

















































































{Headline} {Headline2} {Headline3} {Headline4} >Attachment] {GroupID} {UniqueIDs}


Test1





Test2





Test3



Test4

Attachment1



GID1

UID1, UID2, UID3, UID4





Test1





Test2



Test3 Test4

Attachment2



GID2

UID5, UID6, UID7





Test1





Test2



Test3 Test5

Attachment3



GID3 

UID8, UID9





 



Any ideas?Thank you very much in advance!



 



Cheers
Christoph
