I don't have time to look at this right now, but the first thing I would try is going back to Eric's example and changing <$vars> to <$wikify name=this-value text=<>> ... Good luck! Mark On Friday, July 14, 2017 at 8:21:57 AM UTC-7, stevesuny wrote: > > Eric, this *almost* works, thanks! So

Mark, thanks for the suggestions. Here's what I'm trying to do (I'll try to explain it in words)(turns out, it is rather difficult). I am using xlsx to import spreadsheet data. Each row becomes a tiddler. Each column becomes a field in the tiddlers created by the rows; each cell becomes the

Eric, this *almost* works, thanks! So close...I can see it working :) The challenge remains building a link to a tiddler represented by a transcluded value of a filtered tiddler. You had <$list filter="[tag[schedule-elements]eachsort]"> <$vars this-value=<>> <>: <$link><> which

It would help in my thinking if you gave an example from your data set of a field name and expected field value that you want. Good luck, Mark On Thursday, July 13, 2017 at 1:19:14 PM UTC-7, stevesuny wrote: > > I thought that, too. > > The problem: <$set name="this-value" value=<>> names to >

I thought that, too. The problem: <$set name="this-value" value=<>> names to the current tiddler, not the value of the field that I am interested in. How do I set this-value to a field value, whose name is itself a variable? On Thursday, July 13, 2017 at 4:00:19 PM UTC-4, Mark S. wrote: > >

I think this does what you want (it's a little unclear what the goal is). Note that there is no field with the name this-field, and thus {{!!this-field}} doesn't exist. <$list filter="[all[current]tag[element-field]]"> <$set name="this-field" value=<>> <$list

While this is still an interesting puzzle in principle (for a larger data set, for example), I solved my problem by creating tiddlers for each value of selected rows. It is a bit tedious, and should be unnecessary, but it works (see links below). //steve. On Thursday, July 13, 2017 at 3:23:15
