Multiple Selection

Hi all,

 

 

I have to select about 100 fields in a database that has more than 6000 fields.

Is there any way that I combine a list of the fields that I want to select with the fields in the database automatically? Instead of having to find each specific field? 

 

Thanks for the help!

M.

Transpose both so the field name is now in the [name] column and do a join on [name]

Hi @mcarvalho,

 

Philip's solution here is one of my favorite solutions I've seen for this use case. I hope this helps!

@clmc9601  Always great to see Dynamic Select make an appearance.

Thanks all! I really liked the Dynamic Select solution. It's the one that I used.
