Hi, struggling with a challenge.
I have a table with 16 fields.
e.g.
Fund1, Fund2, Fund3, Fund4, etc.
I have a drop down with
Fund1
Fund2
Fund3
Fund4
I'd like my dropdown selection to dynamically select the relevant columns. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Help much appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think you'd want to use a list box rather than a drop down.
The list box will allow you to have a check box per column, rather than the single option the drop down allows.
If you set the list box to accept the field list from your input tool/stream this will load those fields.
Like the attached (if you rename to .yxwz).
Thanks. The List Box to MultiSelect does work. I guess I can comment "Please only select one'.
Was thinking as it's a one - to - one relationship - So when I pick fund 1, i only need the fund 1 column back.
You can do this by feeding the Question output into a Dynamic Select and then using a formula to choose which columns to keep.
Quick sample based on @JoeS attached
One slight warning - remember to tick:
as the field output changes...
Think i worked it out - [Name]=[#1]
New issue, is that as the fields are being dynamically selected in the dropdown of the app. A lot of my downstream tools aren't functioning now, especially summarise tools.
What is the best way to cope with this changing upstream field situation?
I can share a sample workflow or screenshots if that would help more?
Hi @CiaranA
Yeah, it'd be best to share your workflow.
I'd guess that you may need to change the shape of your data using the transpose tool before a summarize and then a cross tab after.
But definitely best if you can upload your example 🙂

I have a query how to add a DROPDOWN feature into a batch macro so that i can dynamically input only 1 field.
Below i have described my situation, please help me out
So, can i somehow built a dropdown to select a particular connection before running the workflow.
