@Thomas1,
       You can use the dialog() function to further offer customization. However, if it is not required that the user needs to make a selection, that would be much easier. I would use the examples in Scripting Index for Dialog(), I personally haven't used it much so cannot provide a ready example

Thanks for your hint Uday.

Now I'm able to start the dialog and to select a column. However I can't pass the selected column properly to the formula, in order to create the new column with the formula being applied.
