Question

Formula syntax to reference a related table

Hi there,

I will preface this post with the fact I'm very new to QuickBase. Day 2, in fact. 

I have two related tables. In table 1 I have a text field called 'Range covered'
In table 2 I have a similar question, and checkbox which says 'Same as table 1'
So if the value of 'Range covered' is the same as in table 1, they don't need to re-enter it and the information from 'table 1' is displayed.
If they don't check the box, they get the opportunity to enter different information in a field called 'New range covered'

So, I created a field in Table 2 and made it a Formula Text field.
My formula so far is

IF([Same as table 1]=FALSE, [????],[New range covered]

My issue is, the [????] is the field from table 1 called 'Range covered'. I don't know how to reference it. Please tell me the correct syntax?

When you say that your tables are "Related" do you mean that there is a Quickbase relationship between the tables.

Also can you take a step back and explain the business purpose of what you are trying to do.  It would help us suggest a structure for their tables and their relationships.
