Point me in the right direction

Question

What is the Spanish equivalent for the phrase "Point me in the right direction"? The dictionary stated "basta con que me digas cómo hacerlo más o menos" (approx. translation: "Just tell me how to do it more or less") but I am not sure that gets across the meaning of the phrase that I want to convey. The sense I am looking for is "If you cannot answer my question, please point me in the right direction," i.e. try to give me another resource or direct me to someone who can answer my question. Does anyone have any ideas of how this would translate? Thanks!

Answer 1

I agree with the others:

If it is a physical direction, "¿Podría indicarme el camino'"
Figuratively speaking, you have the above suggestions, plus other much less literal translations, depending on the sentence, eg.

If you cannot answer my question, please point me in the right direction
Si no puedes darme una respuesta, dame por favor alguna sugerencia/alternativa

Answer 2

I would say,
Si no (lo) sabe, ¿podría indicarme alguna persona (or a alguien) que lo sepa (or que pueda responder a mi pregunta)? If you don't know (it), Could you direct me to someone who does know (or someone who can answer my question)'

Answer 3

In regards to context'

Answer 4

deletedYeah, what he said!

Answer 5

Si no (lo) sabes, ¿serías tan amable de dirigirme a dónde pueda encontrar la respuesta?

That's a gringo version. The natives can tell us all how to say it better.

Si no sabes, favor de dirigirme a alguien que lo sabe (o la manera de encontrar una respuesta). If you don't know, please direct me to someone who does know (or the way that I can find an answer).
