Formula issue

Hey guys, I have the following problem:

I'm using a formula which shows data from a table with two columns, let's say column1: "title" and column2: "organisation". I want the formula to show the records one at a time, meaning "title1+organisation1" + "title2+organisation2" etc. Instead it shows "title1+title2 etc"+"organisation1+organisation2 etc".

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thank you very much!!!

      pirinisz On table1 the first arrow is where the formula with the "join" code should be

      pirinisz the file is fine. It will take a bit of time to wrap our heads around the field names and table names.

      Fred Table1 is the contacts, table2 is the organisations and table3 is the position

    So when I type in:

    join(for i in 'Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα' do
        i.'Θέση' + " :" + i.'Οργανισμοί'.'Τίτλος'
    end, "
    ")
    

    I get:

    Is this what you want? You can modify the spacing around the colon. :)

      Fred Good morning and YES THIS IS EXACTLY what I want. I found my error, instead of just typing, I was choosing the field from the list on the left of the code form, so instead of i.'θέση' the input was i.'θέσεις/καθήκοντα'.'θέση'!!!

      THANK YOU SO MUCH guys for your time and effort!!!

      HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

     As I slowly learned you have to very aware of which table you are working from in the line of code you are in.

    You are creating a formula in the Γρ. Πρωτοκόλλου/Εθιμοτυπίας table. So all of the fields in the left side are from that table.

    But the formula in the Γενικός Τίτλος field references the Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα table:

    for i in 'Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα' do

    so you have to imagine that everything that you use the "i" variable starts from the Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα table.

    i.'Θέση' + " :" + i.'Οργανισμοί'.'Τίτλος'

    When you get a chance please mark the post as answered.

    Fred RoSoft_Steven Hey you guys, just another liitle issue I came across with: how could I separate each record in a table view??

    Right now it shows "president Organisation1 clerk Oraganisation2".

    How could it show for instance "president Organisation1/ clerk Oraganisation2" or

    "president Organisation1 and  clerk Oraganisation2"

     I'm not sure what you mean by "separate each record in a table view"?

    If you want to change how the records are separated in the field you can change what is used at the end of the join() function.

    carriage return:
    join(for i in 'Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα' do
        i.'Θέση' + " :" + i.'Οργανισμοί'.'Τίτλος'
    end, "
    ") <--note you actually put in a carriage return no special character needed
    
    slash:
    join(for i in 'Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα' do
        i.'Θέση' + " :" + i.'Οργανισμοί'.'Τίτλος'
    end, " / ")
    
    words:
    join(for i in 'Θέσεις/Καθήκοντα' do
        i.'Θέση' + " :" + i.'Οργανισμοί'.'Τίτλος'
    end, " and ")
