Hi,
I create a table.
I want to switch the table with another table by pressing the button.

Is it possible?

Your Tables A and B look identical, but assuming that in 'real life' they would be different...

Create a Container object and drag both tables into it. From this:

tables for toggling.jpg

 

You get this:

tables in container.jpg

At this point you can toggle between the two tables by clicking on their headers in the Container.

If you want to use a button to hide and display the tables completely, then there are a few extra steps.

First, create a new Variable. I shall call mine vTableToggle:

table toggle variable.jpg

Its initial value ('Definition') is set to 0.

Now create a Button object.

toggler button.jpgUnder Actions and Navigation, click Add Action and choose Set Variable Value from the dropdown. 

The Variable for this action is the name of the variable just created - in my case vTableToggle. 

The Value for this action is:

= if(vTableToggle = 0,1,0)

This means: if vTableToggle is 0, set it to 1, otherwise set it to 0.

Return to your container.

In the properties bar, under Charts, click the disclosure arrow for your first table and set the Show condition to 

=vTableToggle = 0

When vTableToggle is 0, your first table is shown. When vTableToggle is anything else, it is hidden.

Now click the disclosure arrow for your second table and set the Show condition to

=vTableToggle=1

When vTableToggle is 1, your second table is shown. When vTableToggle is anything else, the second table is hidden.

Come out of editing mode and your second table should immediately disappear - because the initial value of vTableToggle was set to 0.

Clicking the button will switch vTableToggle between 0 and 1, and your first and second tables will be shown and hidden depending on the variable value.

Switch to another table? what actually you trying to do??

You can create conditional expression in same table? and make it enable as you select specific button.

On button click you have to set up the variable value and according to your variable value, you can enable or disable expression in table.

If the tables have the same dimensions, you can use a button to toggle between field selections, which has the effect of  'switching between tables'. 

If they have different dimensions, you can use a container, drag in both tables and use a button with a variable to toggle the display conditions. 

Let us know which you want...
