Need awkward Portal Solution

[Tony Martin]

I've got a unique situation, in which I have multiple unique records that need to share a common identifier. Basically we have information from 4-5 different sources that contain similar (albeit unique) information about the same record.

Basically the pseudo-structure of the data is:

111 1 2 3

111 2 4 5

111 3 2 1

111 5 1 2

222 5 8 1

...

I'm looking for a solution in which I can populate a table with said data, and display the records on an alternate layout inside a portal.

E.g. I will have record XYZ within a layout that corresponds to the records identified by 111, and I want a portal that will auto-populate a single row for each corresponding entry with the same identifier.

I'm fairly certain portals aren't designed to work like this, but if there is a solution that will provide this functionality I'd love to hear it.

Thanks in advance, you guys are life savers.

We got it, turns out if any of the fields corresponding to the portal exist outside of the portal area on the layout, you will only get the first row of your data to populate.
