Trigger YES/NO formula if value already present in DB
Hello,
my records contain telephone numbers of clients and i would like to know if the phone i enter has alredy been used in the past. This to understand recurring clients. Since i cant set conditional styling to phone numbers i was thinking of setting a separte YES/NO formula to trigger if the entered number was already present in the DB. Any suggestions on how do do this?
Thanks!

Let“s that your table is named ”myTable“, and that the field containing the phone number is named, well, ”Phone“. A formula to detect if the same number exists would be something like:
let zPhone := Phone;
cnt(select myTable [Phone = zPhone]) > 1

Alain thanks as usual! Works great! What if I want to count how many time this “phone” is detected?

Just remove “ > 1”.
