    Retrieve value in second column based on the value of the first column inside a table

    Hi,



    I have two tables, one source table (table 1) and one table which collects specific info from multiple tables (table 2).

    Table 2 has two columns which refer to data from table 1.
    I want to achieve the following for these columns:

    In the red column of table 2 I select a value from the dropdown window. This value refers to a value in table 1.
    I now want the blue column in table 2 to automatically retrieve the corresponding value in table 1 from the same row as the one of the field in the red column I selected in the dropdown window.

    Can anyone help me setup the formula for the blue column in table 2 to do this please?

    Attached you can find some screenshots which elaborate what I would like to achieve.

    Best regards,
    Vincent

    You certainly don’t do this in a table. Use a query and join the two tables on the common field
