- 5 employees working at different verticals

Now, we can explore how to extract team-code information in Employee table using **LOOKUP** columns ### Adding a lookup column ### 1. Add new column Click on '+' icon to the left of column headers in Employee table

### 2. Feed column name

### 3. Select column type as 'Lookup'

### 4. Choose child table Table Verticals in our example

### 5. Select child column

### 6. Click on 'Save'

### 7. Required information is populated in the newly created column

## Nested Lookup On top of the previous structure, let's introduce one more table - `Project` which contains `ProjectName` and each employee can be assigned with multiple projects. If we want to include the lookup column `TeamCode` from Employee in Project, we can create a nested lookup.

We can apply the same steps to create the lookup column `TeamCode` in table `Project`. This time we choose the lookup column created previously in table `Employee` as a child table.

Click save. Then `TeamCode` is populated in table `Project`.
