Hi, I'm using a MIDI shortcut note ON to SetDynamicValue=2
Then Midi note OFF (same note) tp DataSourceSelectRow= MYDSN,Sheet1,Dynamic4

But this does not work, it appears that you cant use the Dynamic variable in this way, unless I am doing something wrong?

Thanks

@ nowski

"Dynamic4" is not going to be recognized as an "index" value for your Data Source row, this needs to be an actual number starting at "0" that corresponds to the row your desired data is in, so in other words, not variable with the Dynamic Value feature in vMix.

MYDSN,Sheet1,Dynamic4 is a string , cant combine the first part of the string with the value of the DynamicValue within the shortcut value part
In scripting you will need to pull the dynamic value first and convert it to a string to add to the "MYDSN,Sheet1," part

Has been mentioned in this forum for sure

Specifying SetDynamicValue4=MYDSN,Sheet1,2 then DataSourceSelectRow=Dynamic4 will work to
btw need to specify which Dynamic value one is setting too

Yes thanks, figured it out eventually, but now trying to search a string value in a dynamic value, it appears that InStr(string, substring) not supported?
Or is it another example of my ineptitude.
Trying to test for characters in the Dynamic4 variable....
