-

(optional) keyword options of the form assign = n or search = s, where n is a name or string and s is a string

Description

• 

The InsertSearchBox command embeds an interactive search form into the worksheet.

• 

If the assign = n option is given, then the search results are assigned to the global name n. If the assign = n option is not given, then an unused global name is generated and the search result is assigned to that name.

• 

If the search = s option is given, then the search form automatically searches for s upon insertion.

• 

Any changes made to the search form result in the designated name (n) being automatically reassigned the new reference object specified by the search form.

– 

For example, in the following example a search form is inserted with canpop being the name to which results are assigned. If canpop is changed to canpop2, then canpop2 will be assigned a reference object of equal value. If the year of the start date is then changed to 2000, then canpop2 will be assigned a reference object that will only retrieve data from the year 2000 onwards, while canpop remains unchanged.

– 

Automatic reassignment happens after changing the assignment name, searching, changing the page, selecting a data set, changing the start or end dates, changing the frequency, or changing columns.

• 

Column selection is only available for data sets with ten or fewer columns. All columns must be included for data sets with more than ten columns.

• 

The search form can recover after a restart and can be copied into other worksheets, or even the same worksheet, and act as independent search forms.

Examples

withDataSets:

InsertSearchBox'assign'='canpop','search'=Canada Population

The first search result is now automatically assigned to the name canpop.
