If I import a csv file that has the following values:
1,2
3,4
5,6

and I create two attributes
numA and numb

How do I reference numA and numb in another node?

For example, if I create a sphere node inside the geo node with the Table Import Node, how would I change the “Uniform Scale”?

I have tried things like @numA, @NUMA, $numA, $NUMA, ../table_import/numb and a everything else I could think of.

I just want to use an attribute from one node to change something in another node.

My problem seems to be related to creating attributes with Table Import.
I create a num attribute that has a value of 1.0. “num” is the name of the attribute I created. If I use @num, it should return the value of num, but only when it's a local variable. If I try to use a relative path to another node, for example,ch(“../geo/table_import/attribuname1”), that only points to the name I assigned, which is a string.

If I try to use the attribute name, I get an error.
ch(“../geo/table_import/num”)
ch(“../geo/table_import/@num”)


Warning
Bad parameter reference: “../geo/table_import/@num” in parameter /obj/sphere_object1/scale.

I don't expect to be able to use @num in another node. If I try it, I don't get an error and it returns 0.

I found a solution, using the vex point function. BTW, I am using Houdini 16.
I created a table_import with some random floating point values.
I created a sphere and used this expression to modify the Uniform Scale.
point(“../table_import”,@Frame,“num”,0)

The sphere now grows and shrinks, over time, based on the num values, defined in the table import.

Hi!
I am very interested in that, could you please upload your solution in a file or screenshots?
thank you
