Below is an example of creating a simple lookup table.

In this example we have received a contact's details including the country they live in.

The lookup table contains a list of countries and their regions so we can use it to add a region for the contact.

1. As you can see from our source data we have a contact with a 'country' but no 'region':

2. So we use the Data tables 'Lookup row' operation to find which region matches their country:

3. The final step then combines the fields from the original data source with the 'region' result from the Data tables step:
