Topic: extract delimted values and link to diff tables Posted: 03 Aug 2011 at 5:20am
Hi, I'm having trouble extracting some data.
Table 1 field 1 field 2 field 3 1 a Fred 2 b John 3 c Paul
Table 2 Field 1 field 2 1 a,b 2 b,c 3 a,c
So table 2 field 2 are comma delimited values. Each value relates to table 1 field 2.
If I know Table 2 field 1, I want to display table 1 field 3.
My current plan is to convert the string to an array and then make a loop that extracts each element of table 2 field 2 from the array and somehow equates that element to table 1 field 2 to then derive table 1 field 3.
Am I on the right track? Is this even possible in formula workshop?
Any suggestions would be grateful. Apologies if I've not made myself clear. James

Sorry I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I need to display the values of table 1 field 3 based on me knowing table 2 field 1 and I don't see how your suggestion would work.
