Hello,



I have two tables in single Base containing names of different people.


For e.g. in table A, I have a column having names of people (120 entries). I also have another table with column having names of people(50 entries).



I want to automatically merge all these 170 entries into another table column and this should keep syncing.



Any idea how can I achieve probably using formula or integromat?

Hello @Pratik_Shah,



Adam from Airtable here. Welcome to the community.



There are many ways to approach this (Automations, Sync, etc.). In this case, I think a combination of a formula field, linked record field, and lookup field (or rollup, depending on your specific workflow) can accomplish what you are looking for.



Here’s a short video of what you might consider in setting this up in your base: Screen Recording 2021-05-05...



Cheers~~

@Adam_Minich Thank you for reply and taking your time for video.



I guess I missed to explain my query.


You can see screenshot below of what I want to achieve.




This can be achievable in google sheet using formula.


Can you please help if I can achieve this in Airtable?



I want this merge column to automatically keep updating.


Hey @Pratik_Shah,



You’re welcome. Thanks for the clarification.



Airtable operates a bit differently than traditional spreadsheet software like Google Sheets or Excel. In this case, our Automations feature might be the better route. I will say though, that your setup may be a sign of less-than-ideal base design within Airtable. More here…
