Question

Look up field value in another table based on formula.

I have a table used for data entry with a formula that kicks out what product to use on a job. 

I need to bring in that product's Cost Per Unit from the Products Table to calculate how much the job will cost. 

How do I do this? 

Thanks,
Evan

No problem,
In the products table set the Key field to be the Product name.

Then make a relationship where 1 Product has Many order lines and make the connection in the right side of the relationship using your formula product name field.

Then lookup the Unit Cost.

I suggest that you then make a snapshot field which would be a numeric field type to freeze the value the lookup.
