How do I add a drop down list of options to a column in a Numbers spreadsheet?

I need to be able to select from a drop down list in a column in a Numbers Spreadsheet . . .. how do I create this?

b,
Pop-up menu, as it's called i Numbers is a Cell Format option.
Select the cells that you want to format as Pop-up
In the Cells Inspector, Choose "Pop-up menu"
In the Cells Inspector, the default menu is 1, 2, 3 - Edit these entries to your liking. It will apply to all the selected cells.

How can i add a drop down list to a fields using BHTML( displaying on its)

Please help me to add a drop down list to a field while displaying on ITS using BHTML or javscript. List should show all the values from value table or search help.

Hi Sandeep,
in ABAP, read the table (keys and values) and write it to the ITS context, e.g. with field names KEY and VALUE.
On the ITS template, write code like this:
`if (KEY.dim > 1);
   repeat with i from 1 to KEY.dim;
    keys1[ i ] = KEY[ i ];
    contents1[ i ] = VALUE[ i ];
    if (KEY[ i ] == SELECTED_KEY);
     selIndex = i;
    end;
   end,
   SAP_TemplatePulldownField("field1", fieldLabel=#label, name="KEY", key="keys1", content="contents1", selIndex=selIndex);
end`
(I had to add blanks between the brackets to get the code displayed correctly here.)
HTH & best regards,
Carlo

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

Has anyone done this?

How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically.<br />
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.

How do i customize a drop down list in adobe muse without css?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything code. I tinker in design and ran into a bit of a snag. I'm involved in a start up and our coders apparently only know how to code software and back end stuff. I know it's probably not the best route to go, but i'm trying to use adobe muse to do the front end of my companies website that will have a few fields such as drop down lists and sign up forms, etc. Is there a way to customize the look of a drop down menu without using css? Or if i do need to use css how do i use it in muse? Really do appreciate any help you guys can provide!

You would need to know CSS. If you need to change Muse CSS you can use Firebug in Firefox to find the element ID. Then you would need to add your custom CSS to the head section in your page properties.

How do I use a drop-down list to populate a list box

I'm using livecycle 8:
I basically have a drop down list with many selections available. I want the function to be when they select from the drop-down the choice they made appears in a list box next to the drop-down box. If they choose to add additional selections from the drop-down list they will add to the list field as well. If anyone has seen one of those on-line job application sites where you have a list of qualities on the left and you can select them and they populate to a list on the right, That is basically what I want.
I'm not too familiar with adobe quite yet and if you can break the process down as much as possible I would greatly appreciate it.

Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
<select name="season">
<option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
<option value='2008'>2008</option>
</select>
<select name="gameselect">
<%
try
String year = "2009";
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
Statement s = con.createStatement();
s.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
while(rs.next())
%>
<option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
<%
catch(Exception e)

</select>

Add a drop down list in an exercise

Hi,
I would like to generate an exercise (simulation) with Adobe
Captivate, I found how to add a text area where the user can write,
but in my exercise, i would like the user to select a value under a
drop down list.
I do not know if it’s possible, does someone know how
to do this ?
Thank’s for your help
Xav31

pgosler, I'm happy the video tutorials were helpful. We are
not supposed to know this, but those tutorials were created by
fellow AdobeCommunityExpert Mark Fletcher. Not sure why it's a
secret, but is is, so don't tell anyone...
The key to happy recording is and has always been to pay
attention to the taskbar icon while recording - it will flash "red"
each time a screen capture is made. And supplement the
auto-captures by leaving one finger on the PRTSCR keyboard key to
manually capture what you think the auto-record feature might have
missed.
In other words, Captivate's "automatic" capture features are
great, but they should never be assumed to have replaced your brain
... the programmers haven't yet taught the program how to read
minds.

How do I use one drop down list to refresh the list in another drop down?

I am using a drop down list full of years (i.e. 2008, 2009..etc). When I make my selection from this drop down list (say for instance I select 2009) I want it to update the available data in the second drop down list. I have the query statement set up within the JSP page but it needs to be a dynamic SQL statement based off the value I selected in the first drop down.
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
The variable "year" is the value I need to figure out how to assign. Now this variable is a Java variable (attribute) and Im unsure how to get the value from the previous drop down and assign it to that. Basically I need the JavaScript value from the first drop down assigned to the Java attribute "year".
Anyone able to help me with this???
Thanks,
Jed

How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

The desired workflow is for
1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
Lieutenant 2;
4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
and Battalion Chief 2
5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

Hi Katie,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.
This guide, and the equally useful iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are available for download through the Help menu in Numbers.

How can I select from drop-down list and jumping to selected subform?

I using LC Designer ES2 vers 9. Developing XDP. How can I Select from a drop-down list the appropriate selected subform (jumping to the selected subform on the page)?
drop-down list...A (jump to subform1)
                         B (jump to subform2)
                         C (jump to subform3)
subform1
subform2
subform3
....end of form

Hi,
you cannot set focus on a subform but on a field, as only interactive objects can be focussed.
From a dropdowns exit event the script will look this way:
switch (this.rawValue) {
          case "A" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;
          case "B" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;

I've created a fillable form in Adobe Professional and my text boxes are prefilling...I did a few tests and it promts me to use the language used in my testing.

How to initialize a Prompt drop-down list using a Repository Variable.

Hi,
the aim is to fill a drop-down list of a Year prompt only with year values that can provide data.
This Show list SQL statement works:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= 2007
Using the maxYear Repository Variable does not work:
SELECT Time."Year" FROM "AnalysisCatalog"
WHERE Time."Year" <= @{biServer.variables[’maxYear’]}
Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: biServer.variables[’maxYear’]
How can I achive the result without hardcoding the Year 2007?
Mny thx Thomas

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??
