Can you use pulldata() to grab data from multiple rows from CSV?

I am creating a survey to assess park's operations. Within each park there are multiple operation id's for assessment.

I want to use pulldata() to list out the id's in the park, not just one. I need to do this for other features in the parks, like there may be multiple playground units in one park and I want to display all of their id's/info as well.

Here is an example of my csv looks like:

ParkIDOperationIDParkName

1000

00025Julia's Walk Park
100000035Julia's Walk Park
10020009

Main Street Promenade

I don't have to have to concat several opid's within the pulldata() formula because not all of the parks contain multiple id's, and there isn't a set number of ops or features per park.

Thanks!

Hi Caryn,

Unfortunately not, due the nature of how pulldata() works, it will return only one single value for the first value it finds in the list that matches the search criteria.

Is this something that custom pulldata java script functions might be able to do once they are enabled?

Hi Andrew,

Yes, you could use a javascript function to return multiple values as an array or list from a csv file by searching and returning all the values that match the input value.

Hi Phil

Do you have an exmaple on how you would achieve this?  For example the extract of a table used in a pulldata function has multiple common names. If a user picks a common name that is not unique I would like to show a warning in a Note or something to show them the unique sub species or scientifc name to ensure they pick the right species.
