Forms Table Calculation Question

asked on May 17, 2024

I have another scenario where values from student_tbl_2 need to populate another table.   

For example, student_tbl_2.First_Nam_2 and student_tbl_2.Last_Nam_2 (Joe Dirt) needs to populate
invoice.invoice_number field.  The same with John Dirt in row 2.

I tried =CONCATENATE(student_tbl_2.First_Nam_2, student_tbl_2.Last_Nam_2) but it is putting the same value in all 4 rows.

student_tbl_2

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

=CONCATENATE(INDEX(student_tbl_2.First_Nam_2,1)," "INDEX(student_tbl_2.Last_Nam_2,1))

There was an extra ")" in there

In this scenario, you would use INDEX again, but specify the specific row of student_tbl_2 you're needing to pull down. That looks something like this:

=CONCATENATE(INDEX(student_tbl_2.First_Nam_2, 1)), INDEX(student_tbl_2.Last_Nam_2,1)))

The ", 1" is specifying the first row of that table. For the next row (John Dirt), you would change it to ", 2".

 

I didn't test this syntax, but I'm pretty sure I got it right.

Hope that helps!
