An example of what I mean:
An order form in Notes with five order lines. For each line, there may be five fields that contains information about the order. Making it a total of 25 fields for five order lines.
Traditionally, if you want to show this data in a regular notes view, you have to have a column per field.
Thanks to the way the index is organized in a Notes view, you can show this data vertically using Show multiple values as separate entities.
A summary of the technique:
- In each column, create a list of the field values that you want to show
- Each column list has to have equal amount of values
- Each column has to have Show multiple.. property enabled
- Only the first column can be sorted (it can be categorized), or you end up with a lot of rows.
This is probably due to how the index is organized/matching of multiple values
Here's the demoapp I took the screenshots from:

Take a look at the Vertical view to see the technique I used.
Thanks to this technique, I can simply pull the data from a view using view entries/column values/send row by row to a stored procedure in SQL. The alternative would be to write code for each field.
Share and enjoy! :)

This would probably be easier in a repeat using XPiNC
It would, but my use case was not presentation. It was for consumption by export routine.
