How to Add a Conditional Column Based on No Companies Found Text Display

Β·
Β·

if I want another column to run only when there is text that displays "No Companies Found" in this column, is there a way to do that, without looking for an empty ID value - I don't want the new column to run unless the Lookup Company has run for the row.

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫢 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table πŸ˜‰

    Have you tried adding a Conditional Formula in the run settings?

    or if theres a way to exclude running a new column for rows that have "run condition not met" that would be great

    and perform a lookup: The Lookup Record integration can help with that. Here's a video and our docs page for Lookup Record!

    https://app.clay.com/workspaces/207112/tables/t_FOsoEHuQCF4Q/views/gv_cHw3v66dn7Mo How do I create a lookup based on the apollo ID written from another table and populate all the columns that would have been updated using the "enrich person" column on this table

    or do I have to write over everything that I need, it's just that there might be times when I don't write over something that I later need in my person table, so better if possible to populate the table with a lookup from the apollo id....

    1. unlimit you rowas in the table 2. filter the Lookup Company column to show the values you want 3. export as csv 4.import back as new table 5. go to the original table and create the lookup as described in the video

    I think I've solved it now, you can't use apollo ID to lookup people found with the apollo enrichment column in another table
