Dlookups of Data in Helper Table
Steve Nelis 
    
10 months ago
I'm hoping to do Dlookups after condensing data from multiple tables to the helper & helper type tables. In the first table, I have a part number with foreign key for each of the 4 attributes listed in the helper type table.  
I would like to list the various attributes for each part like: A.Body Style (coupe or convertible), B: Engine Family (6 Cyl or V-8), etc.  Is this possible to do?  

So, it looks like the basic lookup needs to adapt the "&[]" section to reflect the multi-table association.
=DLookUp("FeatureDescription","ConfigurationT","ConfigurationID=" & [ConfigurationTypeID])

In the part number table I have Foreign Keys: BodyStyleID, EngineFamilyID, UPCID & UPCTypeID.  In the Configuration (helper) table: ConfigurationID, ConfigurationTypeID & FeatureDescription.
In the ConfigurationType table I have ConfigurationTypeID & ClassDescription.

Also I'm unsure how to add a screenshot, as the basic copy & paste did not work.  Thanks!

Could you not just do it in a Query and JOINS?
