I have copied a sample of dropdown box but not displaying  
the dropdown is correctly displayed and values All an creators are available  
but in none case : the df or subset of df based on x is not returned

df=%sql select creator, name from sysibm.systables  
items=[‘All’]+sorted(df[‘CREATOR’].unique().tolist())  
def view(x):  
if x==‘All’ : return df  
return df[df[‘CREATOR’]==x]  
w = widgets.Select(options=items)  
interactive(view,x=w)  
thanks for all update  
best regards, Guy
