# Dropdown or Lookup

 * On mobile I’d like to offer a single drop down that lets the user filter the 
   service items/tables based on the column heading. Is this possible with TablePress?
 * For clarity, I would only want to show the table that the user selects from the
   dropdown at top of page.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdropdown-or-lookup%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I’m not aware of a directly usable solution
   for this. TablePress itself does not have a feature for this, as this is already“
   above” the creation and display of tables (and not really specific to tables,
   as such dropdowns could show/hide other content as well). Therefore, your best
   chance would be to implement this with some custom code, e.g. based on JavaScript/
   jQuery, or to maybe look into using a separate plugin that can show/hide content
   based on what’s selected e.g. in a dropdown.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
