    <p>I want to pull out the data from multiple records and insert them into different fields of a single record in another table. The work I am doing requires me to pull the <code>cw_cat_total</code> field(which is the sum of all the assignments corresponding to a particular category of assignment and put the appropriate data into the fields of another table.</p> <p>The <code>cw_cat_total</code> field was calculated from a self-joined relationship. I just could not figure out how to get the individual component into the different columns of the table in the second picture.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/EgobW.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Can anyone Filemaker programmers help me out here?</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>My database certainly contains more tables. It is quite complicated (from my point of view). Below is the ER graph.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/7nPUT.png" alt="ER graph of my database"></p> <p>What I try to achieve is to pull the component scores into the different columns of the <code>results</code> table so that a student's assignment score may be computed with different weightings for the different category. This coursework score, together with what the student scores for the examination at each quarter(term), will then be displayed in the <code>reports</code> table.</p> <p>As a side note, I am a teacher of the school (not a developer). Hence, my schema may not be what the industry normally practiced. I did read up about database normalisation and think I understand (which I may not, I'm not sure). I tried my best to design around what I think the industry practices. If my ER graph is seriously flawed that affect implementing what I want to do, please point it out so I can redesign the entire database. I will need to compute the overall results (from <code>results</code> table) base on different weighting of different terms in the report of term 4. But I think that problem is similar to this.</p>

    1. COCan you please add more to your description? In particular, what are you trying to do and why? What does `cw_total` mean? How does it relate to the other table?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
