Hi all,.  
I am new to Ignition and trying out Power Table.  
I am trying to select a cell value and use that value to drive/open a new window using the cell value as a parameter.

I have created a custom parameter on the Power Table hoping to save the cell value in it and then use that to pass to a window. But I am stuck… I am unable to save the cell value to the custom parameter.

Can anyone help!

Thanks,  
Meera

Great job. How is it going learning to use Jython in Ignition?
