Beginner Problems - How to sum drop down lists in a table

Hi,
Please forgive my newness but I'm creating a table with 10+ rows and columns and need to sum the colums. The user is expected to select a number from a drop down list and I would like to sum those nbumbers up at the bottom of the column, seems simple enough...
I have named each cell in the bindings tab but can't seem to find the right sum script. I just started using livecycle and have had a good experience up until now.
I wish it was like excel where you just need to click or highlight the cells you want to sum and be done with it but I can't seem to find the easy button...
Cant you just highlight a column, name it and then use that name in a sum script?
Thanks so much for any help and I've looked around but can't get a grip on this one so I apologize if it's been asked before.
Go easy on me.

One last thing.
I can manage this one on my own but it's taking so long to do it the way I'm going at it.
Basically, I've overpopulated most of my drop down list items, some by over 100 and I'd like to restrict the results that can be chosen by the user.
Right now, I'm deleting each value in the List Item field in the cell tab one by one but I have a lot more to go and this could take a few hours at this rate. Is there no way for me to just highlight a large chunk and remove it that way or do I have to go one by one clicking the delete button? I can't find any option to delete more than one at a time which seems odd.
Sorry if I'm not clear enough.
Thanks again either way.
~OK~
I just ended up copying a new cell to each overpopulated cell and rename. Seems to have worked and definitely saved some time, kind of obvious I suppose... but would be nice to be able to delete more than one item at once in the list item field.

  • Drop Down List in a table - different options for each row

    How can i have a drop down list in a table with different options for each row?
    My requirement is this.. I want to display, say employee dtails in a table, and one column is employee hobbies, whcih can have multiple values and each employee may have a different list of hobbies. So how can we populate the drop down for each row, with different options?

    Hey. Uh, this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but it sounds like you've got a problem with your database design there. Generally speaking, your tables shouldn't have multi-valued fields, in the relational model anyway (sql). Instead, you should look at adding a separate table like EMPLOYEE_HOBBIES. Then you have a foreign key using the employees primary key as the foreign key in the employee_hobbies table, see what I mean? I might have misunderstood your explanation though, I'm not sure.
    Alternatively, you could just have hobbies as a big freeform varchar field, and don't bother to make people separate their hobbies into different fields (you'd have to abandon the drop-down listbox idea in this case). If there's no really important reason to make the distinction, then it's probably easier just to not do it.

  • How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

    Hi Everyone,
    Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
    Here is my problem:
    How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
    For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
    And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

    Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
    I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
    I mean to say can I write
    unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
    where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.

    Aseet

  • Acrobat 9 pro designer -- how to populate drop down list

    I down loaded the acrobat 9 professional trial version and have been trying to see how I can create a drop down list where I can input 500 names. I created the drop down list but the problem is the following. To enter the names in the drop down list I have to type each one and hit enter then enter in the next. I have about 500 names to enter and doing one at at time is not efficient. I tried to copy all the names and paste it into the drop down list but it will only paste the first name.
    Does anyone know how I can enter 500 names all at once into a drop down list box?
    I need a simple solution that can be made without some complicated code.
    please email me [email protected]
    thanks

    thanks you for the response. I am not tech savy when it comes to javascript or form calc any chance you can give more details

      VALUE-TEXT = 'MAL'.
      APPEND VALUE TO LIST.
      VALUE-KEY = 'FEM'.
      VALUE-TEXT = 'FEM'.
      APPEND VALUE TO LIST.

      ULINE.
      SELECT

      CATEGORY
      WINNER
      NOTES
      FROM Y_MOVIES INTO TABLE MOVIETAB
      WHERE CATEGORY = CATEGORY.
    END-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE : /1 'Year', 6 'Category', 16 'Winner', 50 'Notes'.
      ULINE.
      LOOP AT MOVIETAB.

  • How to get drop down list  display values

    I have binded my drop down list with tabledataprovider. In the value field i have given customer id and in display field i have given customer name.
    I have reatrived cust id but
    how to reatrieve customer name.

    http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=56515
    Also, if your dropdown list is bound to a data provider you can use something like this:
    RowKey rowkey = tripDataProvider.findFirst("PERSON.PERSONID", dropDown1.getSelected());
    String displayValue = (String)tripDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.NAME", rowkey);

  • How to create drop-down list in Portal??

    My case: I have three locations A B C(in the database) for example.
    I would like to use drop-down list to show list of All, A, B, and C.
    After I choose any of them, for example A, it must show all the data of that particular location and if it is All it must show data of all three locations.
    By using Simple Parameter, it's just a static one but I prefer the dynamic one that get directly from the database. And I also got a problem of showing all locations by choosing All in my dropdown menu
    Any idea??!?
    Thank you so much.

    You could try a dynamic page:<br>
    <br>
    &LT;html&GT;<br>
    &LT;body&GT;<br>
    <br>
    &LT;form action="http://host.port/pls/portal/etc." method="get"&GT;<br>
    &LT;select name="location"&GT;<br>
    &LT;ORACLE&GT;<br>
    for rec in (select loc_code, loc_name from locations union select '-1' id, 'All' loc_name from dual)<br>
    loop<br>
    htp.p('&LT;option value="' || rec.loc_code || '"&GT;' || rec.loc_name || '&LT;/option&GT;');<br>
    end loop;<br>
    &LT;ORACLE&GT;<br>
    &LT;/select&GT;<br>
    &LT;/form&GT;<br>
    <br>
    &LT;/body&GT;<br>
    &LT;/html&GT;<br>
    <br>
    The form should then call your page with a &location=loc_code in the url. Using a page parameter and a bound variable you can access that. You may need to use a decode in your sql to deal with the All scenario:<br>
    <br>
    select ..... where loc_code like decode(:location, -1, loc_code, :location)<br>
    <br>
    Hope this helps.<br>
    <br>

    Hi John, you should either add the values to your InfoPath dropdown manually or create a new list in SharePoint with the values and make a connection to that list to populate your dropdown.

  • Facing the problem ValueChangeListener of the Drop Down List

    Hi,
    I am using the JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0 and the JHeadStart 10.1.3.3.88. In my requirement, I am having three View Objects(V1,V2,V3). I need to create a page based on one VO(V1) displayed as table. In the screen, there are 6 columns. Three of them(C1,C2,C3) are having the static values( coming from the VO(V1) from which it has been built), and the others are, one column(C4) is displayed as the drop down list(for some of the rows, drop down list values are coming from the VO(V2), and for the others drop down list values are coming from the other VO(V3). The other column(C5) is a input text field, that is enabled or disabled based on the selected values from the drop down list column(C4). The column(C6) is a check box. Now, coming to the actual requirement, the rows are related to the papers. For each paper, there are 5 methods of studies. One of the method of study is SelfLearning (5th method of study), for this the drop down values are coming from the VO(V3), and for the other methods of studies(1 to 4), the drop down values are coming from the VO(V2). Now, for a user, based on the number of papers, the number of rows are displayed.(1 paper- 5 rows, 2 papers-10 rows like wise).   Initially, drop down list is displaying the null values. When I change the value in the drop down list, I need the ValueChangeListener has to be called and it has to call the method in the bean. From the bean, the column(C5) has to be enabled or disabled. This is working fine for the inital 5 rows and 7,8,9,10 rows and 12,13,14,15 rows. But, the ValueChangeListener is not working for the rows 6 and 11. I used the debug concept,and I confirmed that the valueChangeListener is not getting called for the rows 6,11,16 rows.
