Aggregate data from multiple fields into one

Hi!

I have a notes table setup where a user can add a note from different tables and relate it to that record, but since it's pulling from multiple different relationships

(EX: QRA# is coming from the Units table, the Wells table, or the Calculations table, I want a field that will pull that QRA# into one field, instead of it being in one of the others.

Does that make sense?

    you can make a formula field called QRA#

    if(
    [Units - QRA#] > 0,  [Units - QRA#],
    [Wells - QRA#] > 0,  [Wells - QRA#],
    [Calculations - QRA#] > 0,  [Calculations - QRA#])

      Thanks Mark! Do I need to have a count so the formula works? and then would those be numeric formulas? and what if there is a txt field

        In answering this question I am assuming that you have three look up fields for the same field coming from three different possible parent records. So these fields,  I assume,  are going to have have similar but different names. If these fields were text fields are not numeric fields then the formula would be this.  

        if(
        [Units - QRA#] <> "",  [Units - QRA#],
        [Wells - QRA#] <> "",  [Wells - QRA#],
        [Calculations - QRA#] <>"",  [Calculations - QRA#])
