Grabbing a field from a separate table to use in formula

Can I do that if there are separate table entries for each rate? I could consolidate these into one entry. I know I could then use a lookup for this.

Part of my experiment is a learning exercise, since I figure to be using more relationships and cross-table references in the future. 

I was hoping there'd be a way to utilize variables from another table without the relationship, something like in a formula.


Thanks

You will need to learn how to leverage Relationships.  It's  foundational to Quick Base's power.

The usual way to do this is to have a separate entry in a Rates table for each rate type.
