Hi, I've imported a rather dumb data set, which for various reasons came in three xlsx files. 

I know have three tiddlers (TiddlerA, TiddlerB, TiddlerC) for each record, which share a common ID field, and have distinct other fields.


How do I combine the three tiddlers into a single (fourth) tiddler that contains the fields in Tiddler A, Tiddler B and Tiddler C?

I seems inefficient to list for all Tiddler A, find the three matches on ID, and then use action set-field to set individual fields in a newly created Tiddler D. Might take a while too, with 175 fields and 1500 records (4500 tiddlers). 

Thanks!

By inefficient, are you thinking of writing code for each field? I'm pretty sure you can use a series of nested list statements to do most of the heavy lifting. Although it's a lot of records, it might still be pretty fast.

Good luck,
Mark
