Is it possible to create an input field with multiple lines?
Or is the single string input the only option at this time?
(##param {type:"string"})
We want to make an input field with multiple rows, for example a list of string values.

I have a table that I saved as a report and created a dashboard that displays the table.
I want to add inputs for each field on the table to be able to filter the table data.
This is the table
I added a text box as the first input
How do I link the text box that has a token called purchCostReferenceToken to the purchCostReference column on the table?
Strictly speaking, the input and the table are not related. The input controls the search and the table is one way to represent the results of the search.
To control the search, use the input token in it. Use dollar signs to denote the token. For example,
index=foo purchCostReference=$purchCostReferenceToken$ | ...
You will need a default value for the token to make this work when no input is provided. Usually, that value is *.
I have an array of phone numbers in my pentaho workflow. I am using split fields to rows activity and I am able to split that array to rows. Now I want to split multiple fields to row by using 'split field to rows' only once. I tried giving comma as a delimiter in the 'Fields to Split' in the input but getting error.
How I can split multiple fields to rows by using 'split fields to rows' activity once ?
[P.S. see attached image for referance]
The Split field to rows accept only one input field to split.
You may put a series of Split field to rows, one for each field.
Alternatively, you may concatenate your multiple fields in a single field before to split it.
With text boxes, you can set field size on how many characters can be entered.
Is it possible to do this to a numerical field?
No.
What you can do is to apply a validation rule to your number field in the table.
Like:
Len([enter your field name here])<=4
Plus a validation message:
Number should be 4 digits at most
There's other option too like applying a Before Update event in your form that you use to maintain the data.
And another possible option might be to apply a data macro.
Can't help you on that one as my Access version is pretty old.
You could use the format property. Another option would be to treat the field as a text box and the format property. Then when you want to use the value numerically use the val function.
How to map input to output fileds from excel to csv in pentaho?
How to tranform this in pentaho ? Where to map values of input to output columns as the positions and name are different in input to output.
You can rename the fields right in your MS-Excel-Input step, and you can reorder the fields in Text-File-Output. Also, a Select-Values step allows you to rename and reorder fields in one sweep on the Select & Alter tab.
The Select Values step allows you to change the column names and position (as well as type).
Note that the column name in the Excel Input is arbitrary and do not need to be related to the actual name in the Excel file, so that can rename them at wish. You can even copy/paste the names into the Field list.
Note also that the order of the column in the CSV output file is defined in Fields tab of Text file output step. You can change it with the Ctrl-Arrows keys.
If you need to industrialize the process and have the new columns name and order in, for example, a set of files or a database table, then you need Metadata injection. Have a look to Diethard's or Jens' examples.
Is there a way to dynamically add a placeholder in a textbox in SSRS?
What I'm trying to do is to have a placeholders as much as the data i have in a certain field. for example, I have a total of 20 data in this certain field, then I also want to have 20 placeholders to hold each of the data.
Currently, I am working on a Tag cloud. what I'm doing right now is, I am concatenating every data and put it in a single textbox (a single placeholder as well), what I want to do is to have a different place placeholders for each of the data so I can have a drill through action in each of the data.
