Atlas IS the correct way - it's not a workaround ;). However, if you're after an expression, then use a combination of getFeature and attribute. This is how it works: First, use getFeature to find a matching feature from a layer: getFeature( 'my_layer', 'id_field', 5) This will return the feature from "my_layer" with the attribute "id_field" equal to 5. Next, chain this into attribute: attribute( getFeature( 'my_layer', 'id_field', 5) , 'feature_name') This will return the value stored in the attribute "feature_name" from the matching feature from "my_layer". Hope that helps! Nyall _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
