Its Possible in QV desktop Environment, but won't work if QVW is scheduled and filtered in changed from access point.

In script is simple,  add a new field

load

     field,      // banana, grapes, ...

     if(match(field, 'banana', 'apple', 'orange'), 'fruit',

     if(match(field, 'spinach', 'lettuce'), 'veggies ',

     'other'))  as  fieldtype

....

or you want allow the users to create the group without reload the app?

Hi Jackie,

if you still can't see attachments, it's probably because you open the thread from your Inbox. There is a glitch in the forum software that doesn't show attachments when you open the thread from the inbox. Click on the title of the thread on top of the list and follow this link to the actual discussion board. There, you will see the attachments.

cheers,

Hi,

you could also load the fruit/vegetable classification in a seperate table like:

tabYourQVD:
LOAD RowNo() as ID,
    Ceil(Rand()*100) as SomeRandomFact,
    *
Inline [
Name
banana
grapes
apples
spinach
lettuce
cucumber
]
While IterNo()<=Rand()*5;

tabFruitVeggies:
LOAD * Inline [
Name,Type
banana,fruit
grapes,fruit
apples,fruit
spinach,vegetable
lettuce,vegetable
cucumber,vegetable
];

or joined to your QVD-table like:

tabYourQVD:
LOAD RowNo() as ID,
     Ceil(Rand()*100) as SomeRandomFact,
     *
Inline [
Name
banana
grapes
apples
spinach
lettuce
cucumber
]
While IterNo()<=Rand()*5;

Left Join (tabYourQVD)
LOAD * Inline [
Name,Type
banana,fruit
grapes,fruit
apples,fruit
spinach,vegetable
lettuce,vegetable
cucumber,vegetable
];

(Nevertheless Applymap (like already suggested by hirishv7) might be the better choice: Don't join - use Applymap instead)

hope this helps

regards

Marco
