Facility Control

I'm working on a baseball stats panel. I already have thought out what stats I want to calculate and what entries the statistician will need to enter during each plate appearance to determine these stats. Next, I began to create two tables, one for home and one for away. Each table is setup with rows for each player in the batting order, and columns for each plate appearance outcome, BUT baseball is a tricky sport, mostly because there is no way to know how many plate appearances (COLUMNS) will be necessary. To keep my table from being unnecessarily enormous, is there a way to add columns to a table, within tags in Dashboard? If so, is there also a way to add parameters at the same time in those new columns? thanks.

It might be a lot easier to use a structured parameter rather than trying to dynamically change the size of a table in a panel. There are no commands I'm aware of that will add or remove columns.

Attached is an example panel that uses a structured parameter.

EDIT: I tried to attach it, but the forum won't let me. Here is the content, copy and paste it to a .grid file:

I had read a little about structs while researching this issue on the forum here, but wasn't sure if it was the right solution for my situation. i'll mess around with it and see what i can come up with. thx bg.
