How to add a query to the Formula tool?

The goal is to add a column, which is a result of a select statement, to an existing input data set.

 

For example, how to add column D to below existing columns A,B,C where column D is a result of a select statement that uses column A B C in the where clause?

 

To be specific, now we have column A B C as our input dataset, 

A B C

1 2 3

 

given above, how to add column D = select GBQ_D from a good big query table where, for each row, GBQ_A in that table = A, GBQ_B in that table = B, and GBQ_C in that table = C

 

Let me know if you need further clarification. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks, do you have an example that actually runs which demonstrates the correct use of the select statements in the formula tool. Thank you

@binuacs

Thank you again, but this column added here is the statement itself, what's needed is the select result of that statement run.

Hi @s92ma1988 

 

The formula tool itself cannot run a query you may want to pass the query into the dynamic input tool and get results.
