How to Create Lookup Columns in Coda

Updated on:
May 12, 2026
By:
Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to set up lookup columns and link data between tables in Coda.

Quick summary

Lookup columns in Coda let you reference and display data from one table inside another, keeping your docs connected and eliminating duplicate data entry. Setting up a lookup relationship takes just a few clicks using the column type dropdown in any Coda table.


Steps

  1. Open your Coda document where you want to create lookup columns.
  2. Click on the column header where you want to create the lookup relationship.
  3. From the column type dropdown, select 'Lookup'.
  4. Choose the source table you want to look up data from.
  5. Select which column from the source table you want displayed — you can choose multiple columns to pull in additional information.
  6. Click 'Done' to apply your lookup column settings.
  7. Your lookup column now connects data between tables automatically.

📌 Why this matters

Lookup columns in Coda are a core feature for anyone building relational databases or structured workflows inside a single doc. Instead of copying and pasting data across tables, lookup columns automatically pull referenced information from a source table, keeping your workspace accurate and up to date. This feature is especially valuable for teams managing projects, inventories, or datasets where multiple tables need to share and reflect the same underlying data. Understanding how to create lookup columns in Coda unlocks the ability to build powerful, interconnected docs without any code.
