Possible to a combined text summary field of address, then convet it back into an address?

Is it possible to use a summary field on an address, then look that field up to another table, then turn it back into an address? I could place rules to guarantee the summary field only returned one address, but not sure if it is possible to change past that?

Maybe I would have to take a summary of every individual field as text, then use an automation on the back end to populate a new address field?

I might abandon this approach, but just curious my options.

    What are you trying to do? Can you explain the structure / context a bit more?

      I was trying to move an address field to another table, by sneaking through a series of related tables. Except, at one point it would have to be a summary field, before moving down the line....in the final table I wanted to use the address in a map.

      However, I came up with an alternate solution that allowed me to bypass this option, but I was still a bit curious if it was possible, in case I ever needed it. I think, I'll just always avoid it and find a better work around lol.
