You should use the dempirical command. You already have the global table set up correctly.

dempirical("GlobalTable1")

This command uses the first column for percentage values and the second column for return values.

You can also use the empirical and cempirical commands, which are similar but include some interpolation between values.

See the attached model.

One way to do this is to create a trigger that sets the Item Type upon creation based on percentage, and then sample the global table.

You can also sample the Type if you would like. I've attached a sample model with the above logic that also changes the color depending on the Type. Hope this helps!

thank you!

I want to use this in a process flow, i won't be using 3d environment for this. I want to create tokens using these percentages, and also would like to give the values of the second column to one of the process flow labels i have specified.
