Creating a stored value from a table

bignate1030 — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 15:55:31 GMT

I have a table that looks like:

Event Table

---------------------------------

Event_A Table_A

Event_B Table_B

the 'table' column refers to another table that I need to load so I would like to save the first value under table (Table_A) into a macro variable for further use. (The values under 'Table' are dependent on filtered values from earlier in my program, thus they always change so I can't just hard code the value)

What do you mean by "further use" if you process the tables using macros, you could use call execute to execute such a macro and pass the value of "Table" as parameter.
