widget dataGrid #dataGridWidget {

label: "Selecting Questions and Categories"

select #questionbreaks3 {

label: "break by"

options: item {

},

item {

label: 'Team'

value: :team

}

}

select #catfilter2 {

label: "Filter by City"

mode: multi

options: @categorySet2.items

}

filter expression {

value: selected(@questionbreaks3.selected, @catfilter2.selected)

}

size: medium

column #column {

cell #cell {

value: average(numeric(:OSAT))

}

}

row cut #row {

}

removeEmptyColumns: true

removeEmptyRows: true

}

Questions and Categories

The categorySet can take a selector as a dynamic value from another selector:

View CDL

categorySet #categorySet2 {

question: @questionbreaks3.selected

}

Which can be used to show a question selection, and then to conditionally display categories from that question.
