Can I create sequences specific to views?

1

Hi all,

I’m trying to create a meeting agenda table where users can re-order rows and have the times dynamically change accordingly. I can do this if there’s just one table, but I want it to work on views. So if there’s an “agenda items” database, I want there to be a view where a control filters the table and only the rows within that filtered view of the table are sequenced. Is there a way to do that.

In this doc I have a “Sequence: view” column where I’m trying to make this work

Hey Tim,

I repurposed an old experiment I had to fit your use-case.

Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

Hope this helps,

Pablo

Refer to the view explicitly in your formula (instead of thisTable) to get the row’s index in that view

Thanks, this is the one!

Thanks very much for sharing this is great. I started making the button thing in my doc before and felt like I was going down a Cones of Dunshire-esque rabbit hole
