Hello, my project is on the community plan and therefore does not have
access to the lookup table function. I need to allocate/link facility IDs
to facility names (grouped under 6 sub-county variable names), and wondered
if there is a neater / cleaner way to do than I have done it below. We have
6 different sub-counties, so the following codes are just for 1 sub-county
(the variable name hf_name_central_kabuchai is the sub-county) - I would
need to repeat these codes 5 times for the facilities in the other 5
sub-counties, and then concatenate them to get them in one column (since
using the method below, and then repeating for each sub county means that
the facility codes end up in 6 columns).
2nd subcounty:
if(data/hf_name_east_webuye_e="Sinoko_Dipsensary", 14563, if( etc. etc.
I have looked through the commcare functions and logic help page, but can't
seem to find if there is a simpler cleaner way of doing this (aside from
using a lookup table) - can anyone suggest anything?
If you're choosing the subcounty in a choice question, you could set the
item value of each choice to be the code or number for each subcounty.
Thanks,
Sheel

Hi Sheel, thanks a lot for your suggestion. Unfortunately the codes differ
for each facility within a single sub-county, but also I need to show the
subcounty name as well as facility name I had thought of adding the
code on to the end of the facility name in the item value, and then dealing
with separating it out in excel, but that's also a bit long winded.
Thanks,
Sarah

Could you embed the information in the user group custom data mapping?
There is a special commcare-user case for every mobile worker too if you
wanted to associate it by user.
I bet there is a crazy way to save the facility names and ids in a
translation string and extract it.
