Thanks for the reply Richard, here is the problem though.
I have a project that has 2 slides - an intro slide and a slide that does all of the work.
The slide that does all the work already has 44 Layers on it - a layer for each product (43 products) where a user can select items relating to that product that they are interested in. Each item is a row of data (in a table format) and therefore the layer is made up of 6 columns x 13 rows and each cell in the table has data in it with an associated variable assigned. The last column in the table is a checkbox used as a selection method for that row of data (item).
The 44th Layer is a "Summary" layer. On this layer, I would like to have a table that only shows items (rows of data from each of the 43 Products) where the checkbox for that row of data has been selected...so for example if you had a Product Layer called Fruit and on that layer you had a table with items such as :
Fruit Name Colour Column 4 Column 5 Checkbox (True/False) Apples Granny Smith Green Selected, therefore True
Bananas Hardy Yellow Not Selected, therefore False
Oranges Seville Orange Selected, therefore True
On the Summary layer, I would only want the data for Apples and Oranges to show.
Originally I thought of having the table on the summary layer built as a 6 column by 559 rows (13 rows per product multiplied by 43 products) and each cell within the table with their associated variable listed. Then having a trigger on timeline start for that layer to hide all rows where the associated Checkbox variable = False so that from a users perspective they would only see rows of data they had selected.
If anyone can think of a better way though, I would really appreciate any ideas !!! :)
A different way to do it is have one slide per product. I think it would be easier to manage and also turn layers on and off depending on a variable/trigger per product slide. But that's the great thing there are always different ways to do things in Storyline.

No, but what I have done is use Layers to show/hide different rows on a table.
