Create a List Box interface based on a column of data, then output into a text input tool.

Hello,

 

I am trying to design a simple workflow that will take a columns of data:

LABEL
SelectionA
SelectionB
SelectionC

and populate the 3 choices above as a list box.

Then, I want the selection of these list box to populate in a Text Input tool (which is then used to feed into a looping macro).

 

I have having issues with getting the Labels to show up as my list box selection and having that output into the text input tool. I have tried using Cross Tab but it requires a second column - should I just create dummy data to satisfy its requirement?

 

Please advise!

Hope I understand your requirement correctly.

I followed the same settings as you did but was not able to get my selections populated in the Text Input no matter what my selection was.

Additionally, is there a way to parse the data retrieved from the selection list into individual cells? For example if all 3 selections were selected it would be one selection choice shown up per cell, as opposed to Cell A1 = "SelectionA, SelectionB, SelectionC"
