Company Lookup on Different Columns

SLam · 2025-01-07T19:00:36+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello, I am seeing if there is a way to write a beast mode that'll allow a user to input a company name that searches across multiple columns.

For example, I want to look up Wells Fargo as the company name. I have three columns where Wells Fargo can appear under: Buyer, Seller, Lender. Is there a way to allow users to type an input company name and output any result where the company name shows up on any given column?

Thank you!

You could append your data in an ETL so it is formatted like this:

Then use Value as a filter.

Another option, use CONCAT() to bring the values of all 3 columns into a single column and then use the "Match Values" filter. The CONCAT() beast mode would be:

CONCAT(`Buyer`,', ',`Seller`,', ',`Lender`)

So you'd have a column like this: Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo. That when a user filters using Match Values, if even 1 of the 3 columns have that value it would filter to show it.

It would be helpful to see what your card/page looks like to make the best recommendation.

No. If you want to do it on the card level you need to use the CONCAT() method in a beast mode.

@ColemenWilson Thank you so much for the recommendations! Is there a way to append the data through ETL on the just the card level and not the entire dataset?

No. If you want to do it on the card level you need to use the CONCAT() method in a beast mode.
