Concatenate data table from subset

UserID16644
Level V

Hi all,

I have to subset a data table and concatenate the data tables one by one into another file.

How can I concatenate the data tables from the subset table to the original table? please help, im really not sure how to do it

 

Here's my sample data: 

 

Data Table( "Analgesics" ) << Subset(
    Output Table( "dt_subset" ),
    By( :gender ),
    All rows,
    Selected columns only( 0 ),
    columns( :drug, :pain )
);

// concatenating to my original data table
For( i = 1, i <= 10, i++, //not sure on this one
    dt << concatenate( dt_subset( i ), Append to First Table( 1 ) )
);

Re: Concatenate data table from subset

Get reference of the subset and then use that for looping.

 

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Analgesics.jmp");

dt_subset = dt << Subset(
	Output Table("Subset_of_analgesics"),
	By(:gender),
	All rows,
	Selected columns only(0),
	columns(:drug, :pain)
);
Show(dt_subset);

//dt_subset is a list, use N items to get items in the list
For(i = 1, i <= N Items(dt_subset), i++,
	dt << Concatenate(dt_subset[i], Append To first table(1));
);
