Hi, I’m developing an automated Order/Recipe/Stocking/Shopping List Manager in Airtable, and I am having sobre trouble with my shopping list. I want to have the values of the quantity of ingredients I need to buy accordingly to the recipes.

I already have the ingredients by quantity in each order (second column) and by recipe (third column), but they come in arrays, and cannot reach how much I have to buy (fifth column [#ERROR!]).

There’s an easier way to make this, or at least, an way to multiply the values of the array with other array, so I can reach the quantity of ingredients?

Hi @Vinicius_Foscac Hi @Sina_Amini 

I have a similar problem statement relating to creating a grocery shopping list from a meal plan but my use case and thus data structure is slightly different. Would you be able to help?
