Scripting problem in relating columns in the same table.

Fri, 09 May 2014 00:03:06 GMT

Guys, I have the following table:

item_id	Food_name	Food_Price	Classification	Classifications
1	hamburguer	10	unhealthy
2	ice cream	11	unhealthy
3	steak	12	unhealthy
4	bread	13	healthy
5	coke	14	unhealthy
6	juice	1	healthy
7	green salad	2	healthy
8	mango	3	healthy
9	ham	15	healthy
10	cesar salad	16	unhealthy
11	chicken	8	healthy
12	fish	8	healthy
13	tofu	5	healthy
A	juice	0.5	healthy	coke
B	green salad	1.5	healthy	cesar salad
C	mango	2.5	healthy	ice cream
D	chicken	7	healthy	hamburguer
E	fish	7	healthy	hamburguer
F	tofu	4	healthy	hamburguer
G	fish	10	healthy	hamburguer

I would like a script that everytime that it sees in the Classifications column a name, that they look for this name in the column "Food_name" (same table), and return it that "Food_name" item_id and Food_Price.

How do we do that?

Can you provide expected output?

Hi,

Load this table in dashboard and provide Classifications as list box and and create a Table box with all the columns. If you select any classification then the data is automatically filtered and only corresponding values are displayed in Table box.

If this is not your expected, then come up with an example of what you want.

Regards,

Jagan.
