Data filter for drop down box

Hi, all. There might be similar questions here,  but I didn't find one that solves my problem.

On the dashboard, I made inputs into a drop down box. i want the output table to change when I select different inputs. 

What functions should I use and is there a sample somewhere?

Thank you so much!

Re: Data filter for drop down box

You can use the << Set function. Please refer to the following page.

https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Knowledge-Base/How-to-dynamically-populate-a-ComboBox-based-upon-us... 

Here is an example.

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

make_tabulate_script = Function( {col},
	tablate_script = Parse(
		Eval Insert(
			"dt << Tabulate(
		Show Control Panel( 0 ),
		Add Table(
			Column Table( Analysis Columns( ^col^ ), Statistics( Mean ) ),
			Row Table( Grouping Columns( :sex ) )
		)
	)"
		)
	);
	Eval Expr( tablate_script );
);

tablate_script = make_tabulate_script( ":height" );

nw = New Window( "new window",
	vb1 = H List Box(
		V List Box(
			Text Box( "Please Slect" ),
			cb = Combo Box(
				{":height", ":weight"},
				<<set function(
					Function( {this, index},
						Try( table << delete );
						Match( index,
							1,
								tablate_script = make_tabulate_script( ":height" );
								vb1 << append( table = Eval( tablate_script ) );,
							2,
								tablate_script = make_tabulate_script( ":weight" );
								vb1 << append( table = Eval( tablate_script ) );
						);
					)
				)
			)
		),
		table = Eval( tablate_script )
	)
);
