Lookup Field Overview
A lookup field retrieves the value(s) of a specific field from a linked record or multiple linked records. This functionality lets you bring information from one table into another seamlessly.
How Lookup Fields Work
When you create a lookup field, you specify which linked field it refers to, and then which field in those linked records to display. The lookup field automatically shows the data from the connected records without duplicating or storing the information separately.
Use Cases
- Display information from one table inside another for easy reference.
- Aggregate data across related entries without manual copying.
- Keep data synchronized between linked tables.
Key Points
- The lookup field pulls data from existing linked records only.
- It dynamically updates as linked records change.
- Lookup fields can display multiple values if the linked record points to multiple entries.
"A lookup field returns the value(s) for a specific field from a linked record (or records). You can use this to bring information from one table into another."
Author's summary: Lookup fields provide dynamic, linked data display between tables in Airtable, simplifying data aggregation and referencing without data duplication.
