Switching tables with a pop-up menu??

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to switch tables in a cell through a pop-up menu. To be more specific I have a pop-up menu in cell B9 and a table in E9 that works with the B9 pop-up. The table in E9 is A1-B30. I would like to make another pop-up that has 3 items in it that would switch out the table in E9 to reflect what has been chosen in the new pop-up. The info in B9 can stay the same. From playing around I have learned that you can not have the same cells in a table referenced if you have 2 pop-ups on the same sheet, you have to alter your table slightly to make it work. Any chance on this?
Thanks
Peter

I'm getting lost on the switching out part. You need to explain in more detail what you expect to happen. Switching out means nothing in a spreadsheet (at least in standard terminology).
What specifically happens when you change the new pull down?
You wrote "The table in E9 is A1-B30. " Huh? That looks like an equation, not a table. Plus you cannot store a tabel in a cell.
If you intend that the cell E9 has something like =My Table:: a1- My Table ::b30
And you want the MYTable part to change to a different table name, then you can use the address and Index functions to do this. Have address build the cell reference into a string referenceing your pull downs and the index takes that string and uses it like a standard equation.
Something like this:
=index(address(1,1,,,B10))-index(address(2,30,,b10))
This would takt the cell A1 on whatever sheet was selected in B10 drop down and subtract cell B30 from that same sheet.

  • Dreamweaver MX - troubles with a pop-up menu/navbar combo

    Hi all,
    I'm attempting to create a 4-button navigation bar, where
    three of the buttons produce a popup menu with links to other pages
    within the site onMouseOver. The navbar itself works great, but I
    put all of that in a template, which of course is automatically
    placed in a template folder. I have 6 or 7 other pages that all use
    that template, and when I preview the template, the drop-down box
    links work fine and I can get to an actual page from the template.
    However once I'm at an actual page, every time I try to use the
    navbar dropdown links again to get to another page, the browser
    can't find the page! I tried moving the template to the same folder
    as the pages, which solves the actual problem, but then prevents
    the pages that are using the template from being automatically
    updated, and therefore creates a new problem.
    Should I just not use a template at all, and copy/paste the
    template code into each page? Or is there another way to fix this
    issue?
    Thanks!

    I'm presuming you are using the DW pop up menus... may I
    suggest that you
    read this article first before going any further:
    http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
    There are better ways to create your menu, without all the
    hassles of these
    DW generic ones. Another article:
    http://apptools.com/rants/menus.php
    Anyway, you should not move the template file out of the
    Template folder-
    because as you say, it won't progate any changes to the child
    pages.
    The problem with the popups and the use of templates is in
    the links. The
    dwt file cannot read the actual links that are written in the
    javascript
    file the popups generate. There is a technote at the Adobe
    site, but I
    can't find it right now (seems to be a linking problem on the
    site) do a
    search for: "Using site root-relative paths with Fireworks
    Pop-up Menus in
    Dreamweaver templates", it may explain the issue further for
    you

  • Is there a way I can do an 'if' sum with a pop-up menu?

    In Numbers, I am trying to have a sum that looks like this:
    Pop-up menu with options a, b, c
    x
    y
    If pop-up menu = a, then multiply x with y
    Thanks

    Hi jamang,
    Is this what you want?
    Formula in E2 (and Fill Down)
    =IF(B2="a",C2*D2,"")
    If you choose a from a Pop-Up, E multiplies X and Y.
    If the Pop-Up in not equal to a, E will show "" (NULL, the cell will appear blank).

  • Help with Fireworks  pop-up menu

    Hi All,
    I created a vertical pop-up menu from Fireworks MX 2004. I
    inserted it into my Dreamweaver file and it works great. However, I
    want the white background of the pop-up menu to be have a 40%

    write in the code? Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

    Hi,
    I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table.  However, none of the comments copied.  When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
    For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
    1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
    2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option.  -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window.  This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
    Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
    I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
    declare
      l_sql varchar2(32767);
      c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
      procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
      begin
         execute immediate p_sql;
      end;
    begin
    run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
    select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
    run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
    for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
        loop
       for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
       loop
       run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
    end loop;
    end loop;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
    end;
    The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
    WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
    Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
    So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes.  It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12.  (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
    When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
    declare
      c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
    begin
    SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT'  AND comments IS NOT NULL;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
    for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
        loop
       for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
       loop
       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
    end loop;
    end loop;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
    end;
    On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
    Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
    Thoughts?
    thanks//jacob

    I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time. 
    I don't agree with this work flow.  Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys.  Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand.  Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

    This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

  • Strange Problem with 'Show Pop Up Menu"

    Hello - I'm hoping someone can help me. I am using a template
    to create multiple pages for a video library. The first two
    templates worked like a charm. The third and fourth are giving us
    trouble.
    We essentially create drop down menu navigation for these
    pages via the template. There are many menu items in the drop down.
    Dreamweaver is now not saving our work as we update the pop
    up menus on the templates. Can someone tell me if they've
    experienced a similar problem? A major project hinges on this
    working properly, and its not at this point.

  • Problem with Fireworks pop up menu in DW

    (I already posted this on the DW forum, but it's also about
    FW, so may be someone here knows about this as well.)
    Hi,
    I am working on a page whose layout was created in Fireworks
    and transferred to DW. After I transferred the page to DW and
    created new ones from the template, I went back to edit my page in
    FW. I created a couple of rollovers and pop up menus. After I made
    these edits, I went back to DW and everything worked fine on the
    template page, but my pop up menus did not transfer correctly to
    the other pages. They appear in weird places (bottom of the page!)
    and the styles pretty much disappeared as well.
    Does someone know what could be the problem and how to fix
    it? One of the things I noticed is that the menus' CSS file is only
    completely visible on the template but not on the other pages. In
    the template I can see all the styles applied in the file, but on
    the other pages only the CSS title appears, not the styles applied
    to the pages.
    I am using FW and DW 8.
    I need HELP!!!
    Thanks for any information you can provide.
    MS

    > Does someone know what could be the problem and how to
    fix it?
    The general problem is that fly-out menus created in FW or DW
    both suck.
    Really bad. Inaccessible, poor usability, a pain to update,
    and bloated
    scripts.
    The specific problem is that the FW menu uses layers. Meaning
    that it
    specifically positions the menus on the screen relative to
    the FW file...not
    your DW file, which may have moved the contents around the
    page.
    Best solution? Don't use these crappy menus. Here are some
    better options:

  • Help with Show Pop-UP Menu behavior

    Using the behavior, I want to link to a page using the _blank
    option
    so it displays in a new window. However, I want to control
    the size
    of that new window. How do I do that with this behavior?

    Yes. All of that and so much more. They are not accessable.
    They do not
    work AT ALL if js is disabled. They cannot be spidered so
    your site will
    not get ranked if they are your only navigation element. They
    are not
    compatible with DW templates. They create a page maintenance
    nightmare for
    you. Want more?
    There are MUCH better ways to do such things....

  • Pdmjr - Switching Tables

    pdmjr
    I'm glad you found a solution to your post "Switching Tables with a pop-up menu??". But as someone who spent some time thinking about your problem and waiting for some clarification as requested by 5|=vv, I feel kind of empty by not being told the solution. Two people took the time to respond to your query and I am sure others spent time working the problem but did not respond because they felt they had nothing to offer for their efforts. Whether questioners responders, or just interested readers, the members of this forum hope to learn more about Numbers and how to handle different and unusual situations.
    Please give us the courtesy of responding with the solution to your unique problem.

    OK - This may get a little long but here it goes! The problem was I have horn strobes for fire alarm panels that have different sizes and different current values. They have generic names such as 15cd wall 30cd ceiling but each manufacturer has a different value for the same size such as one manufacturer may have their 15cd at .078 amps and another at .085 amps. I had originally made a pop up menu with a list of all the different sizes and made a table with a vlookup to change to the different sizes. The problem with this solution was going with the generic names for each manufacturer caused me to sometimes get lost in the pop up as with just 3 brands in the pop up the list was almost 100 items! I tried adding just the first letter of the brand next to the beginning of the generic term but then any one else looking at the sheet would get kind of confused wondering what that letter was at the beginning of the generic term. Also scrolling that many was a chore. I began to think how can I split this into 3 tables, or as many as needed by brands and have a pop up menu change out the table. In other words if I wanted to use brand A I would select in the pop up menu brand A in cell A3 and all of the generic names with their associated current values would come up in D7. I also have a pop up menu in D6 that lets me select the right generic size that I need. So the first thing that I do is select the brand in A3 then move to D6 and select the the generic size 15cd w 30cd c and so forth and in D7 I will get the correct current value for the brand I have selected. This is in turn duplicated for 15 more rows down the page as most of the time there are 8 to 12 items on a circuit. This is what I meant by switching out the table with a pop up menu. The formula is =IF(A3="Wheelock",(VLOOKUP($B8,Wheelock :: $A$2:$B$33,2,FALSE)),(IF(A3="System Sensor",(VLOOKUP($B8,System Sensor :: $A$2:$B$33,2,FALSE)),(IF(A3="Gentex",(VLOOKUP($B8,Gentex :: $A$2:$B$33,2,FALSE))))))) I hope I did not bore you and I hope I explained it well enough.
    Thanks

  • Pop-up menu values from table cells rather than hard-coded?

    Hello,
    I'd like to have a pop-up menu that allows the user to select a category from the list. However, I want that list of categories to be dynamic. I have a table with all of my categories, and I want a pop-up menu that allows me to select one of the values in that table. I change "foo" to "bar" in the table containing the pop-up menu options, and I want the user only to be able to select "bar" in the pop-up menu (bonus points if all past instances of "foo" in the user-entered table are automatically changed to "bar" as well).
    While I'm at it, is there any way to have conditional formatting based on my dynamic categories? I.E. ROYGBIV color order for my categories corresponding to alphabetical order of categories, even though the category labels my change over time or some may be added or deleted.
    BTW, I have already downloaded the Numbers reference guide and formula guide.
    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks very much,
    Adrian

  • Pop-up Menu in the Table

    I have a problem with a pop up menu in the table control. Currently, I have set my table to HOT and i have 3 columns in my table which are set to Indicator, which allows me to select/highlight the cell but yet dosen't change the content in the cell.
    But when i highlight let's say 3 cells in the same column and right click, a popup menu appears with 3 functions. Goto, Find and sort. I think this came together with the table control. I would like to disable the sort function as it rearranges the cell which are highlighted but not the rest of the cells in the next 2 columns. In my case this is not very good for me as all 3 columns are related to each other like column 1 = Name, column 2 = value, etc... Is it possible to disable to the sort function??
    Cheers

    It seems strange to me that the built-ion popup menu appears after your own menu is displayed: how are you displaying your popup menu? If you are using RunPopupMenu to handle the right-click event and display your menu it is possible that it fires the built-in menu also.
    If you don't need the built-in popup menu you do not need to remove every single item from it: you can use SetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_TABLE, ATTR_ENABLE_POPUP_MENU, 0); instead.
    In every case, this is a control attribute: you must isse this line for every single table you want to customize: SetAttributeForCtrls ( ) from the Programmer'sToolbox is very useful in this matter.
    As already mentioned in this thread, to add items to the built-in menu you can use NewCtrlMenuItem ()

  • Rollovers with Pop up Menu

    The last time I tried to do rollovers with a pop up menu in
    Dreamweaver 8. It wouldn't work. So I'm searching for another way
    to do it.
    I created navigation using Fireworks - follow link below to
    example. But when I mouse over the rollover that has a pop up menu
    attached to it (First link on the left) the rollover images
    disappear. Also the drop down menu tends to hang down longer than I
    would like.
    Can my problems be fixed? Is Fireworks the right tool for
    this task?
    I had down loaded a trial of the latest version of
    Dreamweaver a few months ago and it seemed that this feature had
    been deprecated, but there was some sort of plug-in. I'm far from a
    casual user, but it was beyond me for the weekend I tried to use
    it. Also, this is a bad time for me to invest in new software or
    upgrades.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    pop up menu problem

    Don't use Fireworks to make HTML,
    especially interactive HTML. Fireworks is a great tool for
    making Web graphics, but it is
    NOT
    good for making HTML. Don't go there. You won't be happy.
    Read this:
    The
    Sordid Tale of mm_menu and fw_menu.js and then save yourself
    loads of frustration and go buy yourself a professional menu.
    What's your billing rate? At $20/hr a $100 professional menu that
    works, cross-browser, beautifully, is going to save you more
    than 5 hours of hassle trying to get this stuff in Fireworks to
    halfway...kinda...function...almost.
    I don't use these kind of menus, but I've seen this question
    asked often enough to know that one recommendation is the code from
    Project
    7.

  • Show/Hide layer with Pop-up menu

    I love the fact that we are talking about websites here and this one WORKS LIKE ****...and that's diarrhea. I have been trying to just get on this ******* forum to ask this question for 2 days.
    Anyway, I typed this out earlier but it wasn't accepted, I don't know why. Let's see if this one works.
    I am not a code monkey, not even really a web person. I am doing this for a friend, so I can't understand really complicated answers. BUT, here's my problem: I want to make two layers disappear in my index page because they interfere with the pop-up menu of another layer. This, I can do. BUT, I want these layers to reappear when someone moves off the POP-UP, not the link. When I use the "behaviors" that come with Dreamweaver, they all relate only to the link, not the Pop-up menu, so as soon as a user moves down the pop-up menu and off the link, the two layers reappear.
    Here is what I'm talking about, if that doesn't make too much sense:
