How to lookup the most recent value in Airtable

Learn how to perform advanced lookups in Airtable between linked tables. This may sound easy, but it’s a surprisingly complex process of creating lookup fields and using rollup fields to aggregate data based on conditional information. If you can master this skill, you are on your way to becoming an Airtable Pro!  

In this video, I walk you through how to build an advanced lookup by leveraging rollup fields, formulas, and lookup fields. Discover how to retrieve specific information based on conditional elements and you'll gain the power to retrieve specific information based on complex conditions

In this video, you'll learn:

• Understanding the basic lookup functionality in Airtable and its limitations.
• Exploring advanced use cases where you need to extract specific information using conditions.
• Creating rollup fields to aggregate data and using functions like MAX to identify the highest order or value.
• Combining rollup fields with lookup fields to retrieve the desired information accurately.
• Demonstrating the step-by-step process through a practical example of projects and tasks.
• Unveiling a formula-based approach to match and display the highest order completed task.
• Showcasing the dynamic updates as tasks are completed and how the lookup fields reflect the changes.
