Every cucumber framework has a set of predefined steps. Of course, these steps don't cover all the possibilites. If you need additional functionality, you have to define your own steps:

When /^I scroll (up|down) until I see "([^\"]*)"$/ do |direction, something_to_see|
   #implement the step here
end

I can't help you with the exact implementation (what is "Value"?) but you can find the core functions here

Probably you'll need function

scroll(uiquery, direction)

(where uiquery will be tableView)

If you take this function and element_is_not_hidden you can create a while cycle which will scroll down until you see the "Value".

Maybe something similar to the following (I don't know Calabash but I know Frank a little)

When /^I scroll (up|down) until I see "([^\"]*)"$/ do |direction, something_to_see|
   max_scroll_tries = 10

   [0..max_scroll_tries].each do
      break if element_is_not_hidden("view marked:'#{something_to_see}'")
      scroll("tableView", direction)
   end

   check_element_exists_and_is_visible("view marked:'#{something_to_see}'")
end
