Hi guys,

I have a list of three categories (Nodejs, Javascript, React) that is rendered on my page.

I also have a list of blog posts, which I also render on the page. Each blog post, however, can have multiple categories (see an example screenshot from my Xano database).

![Screenshot 2023-08-28 at 11.52.05 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/finsweet1/original/2X/a/a36d1e935d083734f7efa59a8781b7186fa43335.png)

I can render the list of category ids (these are in the blog\_posts table) with **{{r.1.d[v.i].blog\_categories\_id}}**.  
I can also easily display the title of a category with **{{r.2.d[2].title}}**.

But now I need to reference the categories table to transfer the ids into the category titles.  
How do I show the titles instead of the ids?

I thought in {{r.1.d[v.i].blog\_categories\_id}} I could replace v.i with r.2.d[vi.].title but this doesn’t work.  
Or the other way around: In {{r.2.d[2].title}} replace 2 with r.1.d[v.i].blog\_categories\_id. That also doesn’t work.

If someone could help that would be awesome! Thank you!

**Edit**  
If the category column in the blog\_posts table has only one category, I can display the title of the category with {{r.2.d[r.1.d[v.i].blog\_categories\_id].title}}

It doesnt work with mulitple categories being asigned to the blog post.

I made it work, thanks to the Discord community (@ jbleroux): [Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/9225d6f3e9a848bcba4b5d3987e9e0b1)

In Xano, for the API endpoint you are dealing with (in my instance, it’s blog\_posts), add an Output Addon to the categories so you can access the titles directly from within that table and don’t need to reference another table in Wized.
