Hi community,
is it possible to lookup a value like attachedToLineNo and display all the corresponding description in one field?
documentNo | lineNo | attachedTolineNo | description | desired outcome |
RE24-010641 | 10000 | 0 | Invoice 1 | Additional Text for Invoice 1 (1) , Additional Text for Invoice 1 (2) |
RE24-010641 | 20000 | 10000 | Additional Text for Invoice 1 (1) | |
RE24-010641 | 30000 | 10000 | Additional Text for Invoice 1 (2) | |
RE24-010642 | 10000 | 0 | Invoice 2 | Additional Text for Invoice 2 (1) |
RE24-010642 | 20000 | 10000 | Additional Text for Invoice 2 (1) | |

Hi @dufoq3 ,
thank you so much for your super quick response.
Is it possible to only combine the description if attachedTolineNo = lineNo?
