I have created a series of custom fields. They are a select list with Labels and Values. I can pull the labels into Views no problem - how can I pull in the values associated with them? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Usually in case of select and multiselect element value(s) of Custom set are used for internal use that's why the very reason that only Labels are shown in Civicrm entities like Contact,Contribution etc. , Drupal views and other Drupal integration modules. As per your requirement I can provide you with patch for your use case in Drupal views if you need so. But I am confused with the kind of representation it will display for select element in Views.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I take your points on board. Ultimately I found a very easy way to grab the values associated with a select list. I created a Global: PHP field and using the available variables I entered

return $row->host_room_prices_87;

into the value code box.

This returned the value of the custom field so I could use both the Label in one column and the value in the next in order to perform the necessary calculation in the View.

Hope that helps someone.
