In a LocalTable how could I pass the name of a Table as a variable?

Questions about Thunkable

In my LocalTable I have several Tables, named by default Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, ….

When using the block “get value from” I would like to be able to pass the name of the desired Table as a variable, which actually is impossible due to the nature of the block itself!

Actually i’m solving this problem by having a loop “if do…else if…” which require a lot of blocks and repetition!

Any ideas ?

Hi @motzet
Unfortunately, it is not possible to set the table names dynamically.
Could you please share more information about the feature you are trying to build?
It might be possible to move all the data to one table and use filter view that can be set dynamically.

Thanks Ioannis for your fast response !

Actually what I’m trying to do in an App is the following:

  • I have a Local DataBase which contains 6 Tables,
  • On each of these tables I have to make the same manipulations, e.g. sum of all the rows within a given column,
  • Actually it’s not complicated to achieve the result I want: I just duplicate the blocks related with each manipulation. Boring, making a lot of blocks, but… it works!

Therefore I wonder whether it could be possible to pass as parameters the name of the table and the name of the column ?
For example: « Get Value From « Database » in « Variable TableName » in « Default View » in « Variable ColumnName » »

If that was the case, then I could use just a single function with two parameters to do the job ! Great isn’t ?

Have a nice day.
