    Row source values to be shown as text - possible?


    Hi,

    I would like my combo list to show text options ("1","2-5",">5") but I would like this text to be translated into figures into my table (respectively 0, 0.5 and 1). I do not want the user to see the figure as it would be confusing. Can I configure this in my combo list parameters, so that when the user select ">5", it translates into my table as 1?

    thank you

    Yes. This can be done by either having a table of these values or a Value List as the RowSource.

    RowSource: 0;1;0.5;2-5;1;>5
    RowSourceType: Value List
    ColumnCount: 2
    ColumnWidths: 0";0.25"
    BoundColumn: 1
