Pull a number from another table

Is there any kind of relationship in place for the numbers you're trying to pull? If not you will need to expand your horizons into some thing called Formula Queries.  They are a relatively new feature of QuickBase that came along in the last two years or so and kind of rocked our world and that they allow you to basically pull any information from anywhere without relationships. You just have to be cautious if you are dealing with tables with high record counts as they will potentially impact the performance of your app or actually be blocked by QuickBase if you are carrying very large table say an excess of 10,000 100,000 records depending on the nature of your formula query. 

I think we would need to have more details in order to guide you on whether you can pull your numbers for a traditional relationship which is typically preferable or whether you need to get into formula queries.
