So call the 1st column and get the values of that column and store it in a global\_var in as a list.  
Row1,Row2, Row3 … ,Rown  
Now to call the value of Row1 simply use the get row block of airtable compoennt and set row no to the index of Row1 from the column list { In this case the index-no is 1 }

Yup.

What @cttricks said, you

get the values of column 1.  
Store values in a list “\_savedColumn”  
Search list for first occurrence of email or some other unique identifier, usually a row id or key value. (This is how you find the row number)  
get that row  
Save in a var “\_savedRow”  
(Then for example to extract info from that row)  
From label1 set text to (get property {columnName} of object {\_savedRow})

You’d follow this basic idea for each property you want to extract

Hi there,

These blocks will allow you to get the first row which has a given value (here called `LOOKUP VALUE`) in a specified Column.

As mentioned above, make sure you are working with a column with unique values - user IDs, order numbers, etc.
