Common data model in Sharepoint Online

Hi all, just making sure I understood things... If I set up the common data model (say I have a few customers in there) I can use those customers as meta data in Sharepoint Online, and use one of my customers as meta data on a file stored in a document library. Is that correct? Thanks for the help.

    I hope i understand your question right you want to create a List(table) with all your customers so you can reference them in a other List(table)? 

     

    For this you could use a lookup column while creating the second list and add a column choose lookup and select the list with your customers.

      Sorry if my question was a bit messy but yeah, you understood it right.

       

      I want a column to look values from another "table", where this table is in the common data model. At least in my tenant I cannot understand how to do that (I can look up a value from another list in sharepoint, no probs).

      I wonder if it is a) just not possible now b) not possible now but will be later or c) possible now if you do it in a certain way.

       

      Thanks for your help.
