How to link an input box with an existing list box column?

Dear Experts,

I have a list box with columns (item,period(mon-yy),price). Trying to make a line chart showing price variance for the given period. As we have more than 50000 items, the search option in the list box taking long time to fetch. So we thought of having an input box and link it to the item column in the list box. We wanted to see the result of the item which entered in the input box.

Please advise,

Thanks,

Saravanan

In the list box >> properties >> Expression >> you can type like =if(ModelID = vInput , ModelID)

and make a variable before like vInput , and in input box use this variable for input values when you input any value there the value get effected in the list box.

If you want to do this with the Input field it is also a way of doing this then try this code

Eg:-

INPUTFIELD Sales;

LOAD * Inline

[

Sales

2

];

When you load this you are able to change value in list box.
