Hi,

I built two Register screens: one for students and one for the institution. All the information is stored in Airtable and Firebase. My problem is that for the login I want to be able to differentiate if the user is a Student or an Institution, so that it’ll bring them to the corresponding home screen. In the Airtable I created a column that tells me if the person is a Student or an Institution, but I don’t know how to retrieve that data.

I tried doing this: [Search for value in colum (Airtable Spreadsheet) - #8 by actech](http://community.thunkable.com/t/search-for-value-in-colum-airtable-spreadsheet/56949/8)  
but it didn’t work because if the first person was a student and the second was an institution, it would go to the student home page then to the institution main page.

Here is what my Airtable looks like :

Thank you in advance for the help!
