POS 2 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have a table where there are many more (filled) cells in column 1 than in column 0. Say I want to add a list to column 0, but it should be added incrementally to the already existing cells in column 0. Is there an easy way to say: "Add %list to column 0 in &table, below (row count in column 0)" ? Do I need to go the "heavy" way of:1) Add column 0 to %list cache 12) Add %list ti %list cache 13) Add list cache 1 to column 0 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AutomationNinja 194 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I not sure if I understand the question. Are you trying to add multiple rows in a cell? You can't do that. You could add your content to an existing list and add that list to the cell, but then it becomes a single item of content. I hope that makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POS 2 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 No, I have a table with several columns and rows. BUT there are not the same number of (populated) rows in each coumn. (therefore I can not find the correct position to add a new item). When I want to add a list to a column, that is easy when adding the list to an empty column, but not when I want to add the same list to an existing column. If I do that, the old data is erased (written over). I would like to be able to add a list to an existing column, below the already populated column cells. One list item per cell. My solution for now is to have multiple lists, even though I find a it more appropriate to use one table in stead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AutomationNinja 194 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah if you don't know where your last populated cell is then that is going to be pretty tough. It is a good question though. I just have no idea of how you could do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POS 2 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 That's why I for now use lists in stead. Then I can always do a list_total to see how many items I have in that list. There should be a similar function for a colum. Like a column_total (tablename, column number). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LazyBotter 188 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Could you not use a comparison? if table column = nothing then add list itemelseincrement table column 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
