I found several similar posts, but nothing that seems to fully address what I need.
To start with, I have a calculation field that determines a maximum value for each record. I need to create another field that provides a list of numbers with a specific starting point, specific increment, and that maximum value field as the last number. Then, I need to create a value list that uses the values from that list field.
The net result should be a pop-up menu that contains a list of numbers up to a maximum value associated with that record. i.e. record 1 will show the following list in the pop-up menu: 50, 60, 70, 80, 90; while record 2 will show: 50, 60, 70; while record 3 will show 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150.
I found a custom function here (http://www.briandunning.com/cf/1172) that should allow me to create the field containing the list of numbers, but I'm doing something wrong as it doesn't appear to work.
I also found this information (http://fmtechniques.blogspot.com/2009/12/quicktip-creating-drop-down-list-from.html) that addresses the issue of trying to create a value list from an unstored field that can't be indexed because it references an unstored calculation field which itself can't be stored or indexed for the same reason. But, that didn't help - perhaps because of the custom function not working.
If there is another, better way to get a value list that varies from one record to the next based on the original calculation field; I'm certainly open to suggestions.
