I’d like to add a lookup column with a multiple relation column, is it possible ?  
My case of use :

- sheet “users rights” with 2 columns “project” and “user email”. I can have many rows with different users email for the same project.
- sheet “project”

I’d want add a lookup column in the project’s sheet with all the email authorized for the project. Then, i could have a tab in my app with per-user-data based on this lookup column.

I hope my request is clear.

Hi there Oliver, @Mark and I were just talking about this yesterday. At the moment you can’t do this but we definitely want to make that possible in future.

Mark - if you have any suggestions for @Olivier_Gibier that would be awesome.

Yes, i think it’s a good way to manage rights user or groups.

Yes, that makes total sense.

This is now possible - in the image below you can see a multiple relation and then a lookup column that pulls back all the users who are allowed access to this project. (tutorial coming soon)

Look great … but that goes by pretty fast. Can you do a slower animation or share the user projects app?

Hey @moses5407 - I just looked in my folders and can’t find the example app I made for this GIF. I may have tidied it into the trash at some point.

Also - I said tutorial coming ‘soon’, - still on my list! 😉 sorry!

Essentially:

- create a list of projects in **sheet1**
- create a column called user which will assign a users email to that row
- you may create multiple duplicate entries of a project so you can assign it to different users using the email column eg:

Row1: Project A | [john@gmail.com](mailto:john@gmail.com)  
Row2: Project A | [sarah@gmail.com](mailto:sarah@gmail.com)  
Row3: Project B | [mary@gmail.com](mailto:mary@gmail.com)  
Row4: Project A | [mary@gmail.com](mailto:mary@gmail.com)  
Row5: Project C | [john@gmail.com](mailto:john@gmail.com)

- then create a list of projects in **sheet2** but with no duplication (i.e. a unique list of projects)

Row1: Project A  
Row2: Project B  
Row3: Project C

- Then create a [multi relation](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/guides/quick-starts/intermediate-techniques/match-multiple-relations) from **sheet2** back to **sheet1** to pull in all the instances of each project.
- Then create a lookup column that looks through that relation and pulls back all the users that are ‘authorized’ for that project.

Let me know if you have any q’s

Hi, Jack. I posted this in feature requests but wanted to also bring it up directly to you.  
"If it’s helpful, here’s a link to an HTML5 in-browser QRcode scanner:  
[https://github.com/schmich/instascan](https://github.com/schmich/instascan).

I’d also be open to contributing financially, if I can afford it, for this as well as a input type range slider component.  
[https://www.html5tutorial.info/html5-range.php](https://www.html5tutorial.info/html5-range.php)"

My interest is to have a QRCode reader and input range slider which I think would be helpful for many others as well.
