I’m running into something that seems like it should be easily doable, but for some reason is giving me a lot of trouble.
I have a recipe database with tables for ingredients and recipes. I have a third table called “Recipe Line Items” that is used for displaying the recipes in a readable format, and that’s where I enter what the ingredients of a recipe are. The first column of this is a formula that concatenates the quantity and ingredient into “100g Sugar” or whatever.
I would like to have a column in the ingredient table that lists what recipes the ingredient is included in. A linked record doesn’t work, since it only returns the first column. I’ve tried rollup and lookup, but they just return the comma-separated strings, and don’t link to the actual record, which is what I want.
Am I missing something, or is this just something I’m going to have to change my data model to accommodate?
Thanks in advance.
