Table relations problems

Hi,

I've spent countless hours trying to solve this and I would greatly appreciate any help.

I'm using Appsheet's own database for my data and this is my problem:

Table A does not have any (outgoing) references to any other table.

Multiple rows in Table B can refer to the same row in Table A.

Multiple rows in Table B can refer to the same row in Table C.

I'm now creating a view based on data in Table A. Appsheet automatically gives me the rows in Table B which are related to each row in Table A (pretty neat!). However, I also want to show the rows in Table C which are indirectly related to each row in Table A. I don't want to show the Row ID to the end user, I want to show the label value.

Table A

Table B

Table C

Add a virtual column to Table A named (e.g.) Related Table Cs with an App formula of:

[Related Table Bs][Table C reference]

Add a virtual column to Table A named (e.g.) Related Table Cs with an App formula of:

[Related Table Bs][Table C reference]

Thanks, but that gives me the Row ID's, not the label values. At least in the view that tests the formula. Is that expected behaviour?

Yes, the test feature in Expression Assistant is going to display the column's actual value. Go ahead and put it in place and see what it does.

Thanks for your help!
