So, here is the scenario

Our company uses three types of templates and each of it is different and I am creating a glide app to effectively manage them. I have already built an app in which I am using a helper table when the transacitons are uploaded to put data into it and view it and all of that is for template 1 but to manage and automatically detect which type of transaction report it is we need to use some logic which I ddont know how to. Here is an example of the three templates i am talking about

Template 1

| Transaction date | Value date | Transaction reference | Description | Debit Amount | Credit Amount | Balance | Account number(IBAN) | Account number(BBAN) | Account name | Currency |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 14-Mar-25 | 16-Mar-25 | 000452055733.AC0003. | Service Fee | 000452055733 | 10 | | 508.04 | MU07MCBL0944000452055733000USD | 452055733 | Current Account |
| 14-Mar-25 | 16-Mar-25 | 000452055733.AC0003. | Tax Amount Due | 1.5 | | 518.04 | MU07MCBL0944000452055733000USD | 452055733 | Current Account | USD |

Template 2

| MY TRANSACTIONS | | | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Transactions List | | LC1202 - CAODA- SHOBHA JEWELS CO LTD (MUR) - 143100000922 | | | | | |
| | Instrument ID | Transaction Date | Value Date | Description | Amount Type | Amount | Running Balance |
| | | 17/03/2025 | 17/03/2025 | Transfers/Bonus SBM TRANSITIO | Cr. | 18,650.93 | 35,936.66 |
| | | 13/03/2025 | 13/03/2025 | Transfers/Bonus SBM TRANSITIO | Cr. | 457.83 | 17,285.73 |
| | 7447058 | 13/03/2025 | 13/03/2025 | INWARD CLEARING-MORNING | Dr. | 23,000.00 | 16,827.90 |

How are you letting your users upload the data?

Is it a file and you’re extracting the content using a workflow or something like that?

Yep, it was quite simple I will create a video in about 2 days explaining all of the logic behind it – I am going to do it for my client tho that is why I will share here as well
