Show/Hide Column Fields based on Selection in List Box - Straight Table

ZoeM — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:18:05 GMT

Hello Community.

I would like to enable a condition in the expression tab for a few columns to only show when they are selected from the list box.

So in the example attached, I have a total column which will show all the time. But I would like for Washington, Alabama, and Arizona to show only if they are selected by the user from the available list box. and the user can choose to select a variety of of states accordingly i.e. can choose to see only Washington and Arizona or Alabama and Arizona etc.

How would I write that conditional expression?

Thanks in advance.

I do something similar so that the users can create a custom table to export. I put this in the expression's conditional test.

This is excellent!

So let me throw you in a loop here for a second. Say we had two states that are very similar?

Say I have Washington(the State) and then there is Washington D.C?

When I plugged in your expression (which works wonderfully by the way), I am running into the issue of where my similar fields are being shown simultaneously and only want the unique one.

In my application, I created an inline table like below. I dsiplay the Rfield in the filter and the conditional statement is matching on the RFieldID. Washington would match on A49 and Washington D.C. would match on A53.

Yea unfortunately I cant make edits in the script.

Thanks though for your help. Let me work off of what you have provided and see if I can figure out how to separate the identical.
