I have a Container field which is set as Auto-enter Calculation replaces existing value. I understand that fields do not recalculate after being set unless they are of type Calculation. Is there a way for me to have a dynamic image show in my container based on values in other fields and have the image change if the value in the field changes?
Thanks
Auto-enter calculations set to replace existing value will recalculate on change of fields they depend on. Usually these fields are used right in the formula; if they are not, you can add a 'trigger' like this:
Case( True or MyField or MyOtherField /* trigger */;
/* the rest of the formula */ )
this calculation will change when you change MyField or MyOtherField; the True is used to shortcut the expression and go straight to the formula. The fields must be in the same table; related fields won't work.

does anyone know how to fill value from one field of cf7 as default for another one? For example - Client fill drop on and drop off location fields and I need for return way it will automatically fill by values from fields above in opposite order (but should be editable).
I would like to be able to show the select label rather than the value when returning data from a select field in timber using ACF
I can get the list of fields by using the code below but this is all fields not the one related to the record.
{{senior.field_object('job_sector').choices|print_r}}
How did you set up your ACF field? For the Select Field you can either use the value, the label or both the value and the label as a Return Value. So I’m assuming if you returned both, that would be the easiest way to solve this.
But the following might also work, assuming that senior is a post object and job_sector is the name of the select field.
{{ senior.field_object('job_sector').choices[senior.meta('job_sector')] }}
By using senior.meta('job_sector'), you select the value, which is the key to get the label in the choices array.
According to the Filemaker documentation,
If you select Calculated value, you can edit the field value in Browse mode (if Prohibit modification of value isn't selected). The value is calculated when you create a record, or when one of the referenced fields changes and the destination field is empty. (However, if you select Do not evaluate if all referenced fields are empty in the Specify Calculation dialog box, the value isn't calculated when you create a record and all fields referenced by the calculation are empty. Instead, the value is calculated when one of the referenced fields contains a value.
An auto enter calculation will be calculated if the reference field value used in the calculation is changed. I'm using a field in the relationship and from that same relationship I'm getting the value from a related table.
For example, relationship between table A to B is based on a field F1. In my calculation, I've
B::__text
Here, in this calculation I'm not using the field F1 but it used in the relationship between A->B. Whenever I'm changing the value of F1, Filemaker is updating the value of the auto enter calculation.
Is this normal? I don't find any docs related to this in the documentation.
Yes, it is expected behavior as long as the "Do not replace existing value of field" is not selected.
In Tableau 9.2, I currently have a parameter set up which contains multiple string values and an additional "All" value. I also have a calculated field which only contains the Str([some_field]) function. I have then dragged this calculated field into the "filters" pane and from there enabled "use all" and put the following formula under the "condition" tab:
// If All is selected, then do not filter
[my_filter_parameter] = 'All' OR
// Otherwise, filter on the current parameter
[my_filter_parameter] = [my_calculated_Field]
After creating the calculated field for multiple sheets in my dashboard (which use different data sources all contain the common some_field), then I can change the parameter's value and it will filter all of the sheets at once.
My issue is that I need this to take on multiple values at once via a check-box. I understand that a parameter can only take on one value at a time, so I am wondering how I can do this without making the same filter for each individual sheet in the dashboard. Perhaps this can be done with a calculated field?
EDIT: I have tried the technique here to make a global filter via a control view. This allows me to use Ctrl+Clicking to select multiple values in some_field at once, however I still do not have a dropdown box. Alternatively, if anyone knows how to use this method with a dropdown box, then that would be another solution.
If I am understanding your situation correctly, I have accomplished this using the following:
Create a calculated field and put the following code:
if [parameters].parametername = 'All' then true
elseif [parameters].parametername = FILTEREDCOLUMN then true
else false
end
Add that calculated field to the filters pane and select "True" - in other words, filter out any records where the calculated field is False. If the parameter you selected is "All" then all records will be True. Otherwise, it will only be True if the parameter matches the FILTEREDCOLUMN. I hope that helps.
Parameter can pass only one value at a time ,i.e. Parameter Control will have Single Drop Down List.
I need some help with Access 2010 forms. My form has a number of fields (from one table). One of the field is a logical field. If the user selects true, then the next field (text field) should be enabled. This is working fine - I created an after update event procedure. The problem I have is if the user accidentally selects true, and then selects a value/s for the text field (the text field looks up a query - it is a look up field and it can have more than one value - the user can select/check as many from the list and they will be stored to the text field, separated by coma).
How will I set the text field (look up field) value to blank, if the user goes back and set the logical field to false? me.textfield.value = null gives an error.
Can anyone please help me? Thank you!
Just keep in mind that in fact a multi-value column is in fact a normalized data table.
So the display looks like this:
To clear the records selected in this child table, which is your mult-value selection, you can use this code behind the above button:
Dim rstChild As DAO.Recordset
Set rstChild = Me.Recordset.Color.value
Do While rstChild.EOF = False
rstChild.Delete
rstChild.MoveNext
Loop
Me.Color.Requery
An easy way to insert a blank lookup field is to select the field in design view and click on the lookup tab in the field properties. Before the first entry in Row Source insert the following " ";
