How to use this formula functions in apex tags?

<apex:variable var="counter" value="{!1}"/>          
                <apex:repeat value="{!events}" var="itr"> 
                    <br/><br/>     
                    
                    <table>

Once you open the '{!' you are in merge syntax until you close the '}', so you don't need to open/close on each field:

 

<apex:selectlist value="{!IF(counter=1,selectedItem,selectedItem2)}" size="1">

 

I'm not 100% sure that this will work, as I can't recall having a conditional value for a selectlist before.

I have tried this. I am getting this error: Unknown property 'IF(counter=1,selectedItem,selectedItem2)'

 

selectedItem and selectedItem2 variable are here:

 String s = '09:00';
     String s2 = '09:00';
     
     public String getSelectedItem(){
          return s;
     }
     public void setSelectedItem(String s){
         this.s = s;
     }
     
     public String getSelectedItem2(){
          return s2;
     }
     public void setSelectedItem2(String s2){
         this.s2 = s2;
     }

     public List<SelectOption> getItems(){
            List<SelectOption> options = new list<SelectOption>();
            String mins = '30';
            for (Integer i = 0; i < 48; i++) 
            {
                mins        = (mins == '30') ? '00' : '30';
                Integer hrs = ((i*30) / 60);
                String hr   = (string.valueOf(hrs).length() == 1) ? '0' + string.valueOf(hrs) : string.valueOf(hrs);            

                String key = hr + ':' + mins;
   
                options.add(new SelectOption(key, key));
            }
            return options;      
     }

Actually my problem was below link. I have created this topic for as an alternative solution.

The error that you saw was the reason that I put I wasn't 100% sure - some attributes require a property rather than allowing merge syntax to determine the value.  I'd expect action methods to behave the same, now that I've seen the results of your attempt.
