Hello,
i use Airtable for my sport club,
i need to do something like this: “Select DOB where SURNAME is (variable) from Athlets”
and save this value (name) into a variable.
How can i select only one field ?
Thanks !!!
Guido

What does _ **Athlets** _ mean here? Is it the Table Name?
* * *
We can achieve this through a loop-check. More clearly, looping through all rows, and checking if _ **SURNAME = something** _.
Thanks!

Hi, @aiasp! 👋
Sorry for late reply, I was busy here 😐
I think this should work for you :

Since you’ve set the TableName in Designer properties of Airtable component, it will do all the tasks on that specific Table only.
I hope I helped you 😺

If so, best procedure would be grabbing another Airtable Component, and setting it to a different Table Name.
Thanks! 😺
