Dynamic selection

[#1]

I have 11 variables of which one variable (say Fieldnames) contains the variable names of the  other 10 variables. Is there any way I can select a field by selecting the corresponding value from the variable 'Fieldnames' ?

Lets say if i have to create a dynamic list box which would show the values in the field which I select from the variable "Fieldnames"??

I think you are confusing Variables and Fields. TO clarify, Variable can only hold a single value at a time, while a Field (stored in a Table) can hold multiple values at a time.

If you wanted to have a dynamic List Box that shows a field of your choice, you don't have to create another field for that. It's enough to create a Dimension Group (Document Properties --> Groups) and use the Group in the List Box. The users will be able to select what field to show.

Thanks for your response.

The issue is like this,

there are 4 variables lets say A,B,C,D

with the following values

A  B   C   D

1   2   3    A

1   2   5    B

2   3   5    C

2   3   5

2   4   5

I need to summarize in a table the values of A,B,C dynamically viz if a user selects 'A' from

the list box(of variable D), the table should show summarized values of A and similarly for B & C.

I know the variable 'D' has values which are names of other variables. But can we by some way make

such a dynamic table
