Do While loop

[#1]

I have ship dates that the user can select and as they select it changes the values of another field in a chart. The goal is for this field value to be equal or greater than another value, which is calculated. The user has requested that I automate this process so when the calculated field value is set, the ship dates are advanced until the chart field is equal to or just greater than the calculated field. Can anyone assist me with the script that would do this?

How do I share it? Is it as simple as copy and paste?

In your reply , go into the 'advanced editor' and from there you can attach a file.

When I go into my message and select reply, I do not see an "Advanced

I thought I figured out how to attach but I do not see it?

It is attached to the original entry.

"Net Tons to Pour", based on user values for "Net Tons per Day to Pour" and "# of Pour Days", is calculated and when "Net Good Tons" is equal to or greater than "Net Tons to Pour", "Pour Date" selection should stop. Currently, once I have a value for "Net Tons to Pour", I start selecting "Pour Date" and guess when "Net Good Tons" might be close to "Net Tons to Pour". The user has asked if I can automate this so once "Net Tons to Pour" is calculated, "Pour Date"s are selected until "Net Good Tons" is no long less than "Net Tons to Pour".

I changed the 'Pour Date' list box to an expression;

=if ( (TonsperDay*PourDays) <=  aggr(  Sum ((([Each Weight])/2000)*[To Pour Qty.]), [Pour Date]), [Pour Date])

It means that [Pour Date] will only show if 'Net Tons to Pour' is less than or equal to 'Net Good Tons'

I also added a list box expression whic shows 'net good tons' so the user has an idea of the threshold and what further filtering may yield.

also attached is the QVW sample.  Did i get this right ? I couldn't be 100% after reading your explanation. ! !

But I still need to show Net Good Tons broken out by Metal Type (Alloy). Do I need to add the Pour Date expression to my to charts that are already on the page?
