Hi all,
i am pretty new to Appsheet, so far really an impressive Tool.
I stumbled onto the following problem and wasnt able to solve it (even though i really searched in existing threads and documentation).
Lets say i have three tables as my data, purpose of App is to simply create comments for employees.
One table has the names per emloyee-ID, second table has the department per employee-ID. Third table is were the app user can enter comments for an employee-ID.
I now want to reference all three tables via the employee-ID, so that the user can open a form view to enter comments in the app. In this view the user first enters the employee-ID and then it will automatically display the right name and departments of this employee-ID.
So really a simple use case, connecting 3 tables via the same reference. Each ID can of course only have one name and one department.
I didnt manage to accomplish this, connecting 2 tables is not a problem but 3 didnt work. I tried it e.g. via a virtual column but i can only reference to the table which is chose when specifying the referenced table after setting data typ to "Ref" for PersonalID.
Data Explorer Screen for better understanding:
Thanks in advance for any help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks Marc
i followed you advice and discovered "Chained dereference expressions", which is what i was looking for. ๐
