Create New Column with variables
Hi all,
I am trying to create a new column with formula, which represented by 2 variables as below:
dt << New Column("myNewColumn", Numeric, Continuous, Formula(:Ceiling( XXColumn / Size) * Size));
where:
XXColumn is one of column name in dt, selected in column dialog
Size = numeric value from column dialog
My attempt resulted a new column with formula with no value as formula create as below:
Ceiling(Column(XXColumn ) / Size) * Size
without actually assign it.
Any idea how I can accomplish this?
Accepted Solutions

Re: Create New Column with variables
finally the magic happened !!!
here is the code i used..
col = dts << New Column("Binning", Numeric, Continuous);
Eval( Parse( Eval Insert( "col << Set Formula(:Ceiling( ^n_Bin^ / ^BinSize^) * ^BinSize^)<< eval formula" )) );
Thank You MS for the guidance; what is the diff on f_bin and n_bin i used?

Re: Create New Column with variables
Variables in formulas are not evaluated when created and should therefore be expressed literally. One way to circumvent that is to manipulate and parse strings.
Example:
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
cols = Column Dialog( Col1 = ColList( "X", Max Col( 1 ), Datatype( numeric ) ), Col2 = ColList( "Y", Max Col( 1 ), , Datatype( numeric ) ) );
XXColumn = cols["Col1"][1] << get name;
Size = cols["Col2"][1] << get name;
Eval( Parse( Eval Insert( "dt << New Column(\!"myNewColumn\!", Numeric, Continuous, Formula(Ceiling( ^XXColumn^ / ^Size^) * ^Size^))" ) ) );

Re: Create New Column with variables
Thank you MS.
The new column created with correct formula. But, the rows are empty. I need to go to the formula section on UI and click apply then only values prompts.
is it expected?

Re: Create New Column with variables
No, it was not expected. For me (JMP 10 for Mac) it works without clicking "Apply". There was an inadvertant colon before "Ceiling..." that remained from your original code (I've now edited my code above). Maybe it helps to delete that.

Re: Create New Column with variables
Try <<eval formula.
Eval( Parse( Eval Insert( "dt << New Column(\!"myNewColumn\!", Numeric, Continuous, Formula(Ceiling( ^XXColumn^ / ^Size^) * ^Size^), <<eval formula)" ) ) );

Re: Create New Column with variables
Its not working. The result still same.
In JSL, apply button == ? do you know?

Re: Create New Column with variables
No. Eval Formula is supposed to be eqivalent as far s I know.
Try to separate the new column and set formula into separate expressions:
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
cols = Column Dialog(
Col1 = ColList( "X", Max Col( 1 ), Datatype( numeric ) ),
Col2 = ColList( "Y", Max Col( 1 ), Datatype( numeric ) )
);
XXColumn = cols["Col1"][1] << get name;
Size = cols["Col2"][1] << get name;
col = dt << New Column( "myNewColumn", Numeric, Continuous );
Eval( Parse( Eval Insert( "col << Set Formula(Ceiling( ^XXColumn^ / ^Size^) * ^Size^)" ) ) );
col << eval formula;

Re: Create New Column with variables
It did not work. Maybe I should explain what I am doing and share paste my code.
Step 1: Collect input from Column dialog
Step 2: Do Summary table with Min,Mean, Max for selected column + default column
Step 3: Create new column for Ceiling
Step 4: Do plotting using Graph builder
Code:
dt0 = current data table();
FN = dt0 << Get Name;
r = Column Dialog(
Bin = ColList( "X, Binning By", Max Col( 1 ) ),
Overlay = ColList( "Group by / Overlay by", Max Col( 1 ) ),
Split = ColList( "Y, Response",Max Col( 5 ) ),
Compare = ColList( "X-Axis Top", Max Col( 1 ) ),
HList( "Bin Size: ", BinSize = EditNumber( .1 ) ),
);
Bin = r["Bin"];
Overlay = r["Overlay"];
Split = r["Split"];
Compare = r["Compare"];
BinSize = r["BinSize"];
dts = dt0 << Summary(
Group(:Fixed, column(dt0,Overlay), column(dt0,Compare) ),
Mean( :Yield ),
Min ( column(dt0,Bin) ),
Mean( column(dt0,Bin) ),
Max ( column(dt0,Bin) ),
Min ( column(dt0,Split[1]) ),
Mean( column(dt0,Split[1]) ),
Max ( column(dt0,Split[1]) ),
Min ( column(dt0,Split[2]) ),
Mean( column(dt0,Split[2]) ),
Max ( column(dt0,Split[2]) ),
Min ( column(dt0,Split[3]) ),
Mean( column(dt0,Split[3]) ),
Max ( column(dt0,Split[3]) ),
Min ( column(dt0,Split[4]) ),
Mean( column(dt0,Split[4]) ),
Max ( column(dt0,Split[4]) ),
Min ( column(dt0,Split[5]) ),
Mean( column(dt0,Split[5]) ),
Max ( column(dt0,Split[5]) ),
statistics column name format( "column stat" ),
);
dts << Set Name (FN || " Summary");
n_Bin = Bin[1]||" Mean";
f_Bin = Column(dts, n_Bin);
col = dts << New Column("Binning", Numeric, Continuous);
Eval( Parse( Eval Insert( "col << Set Formula(Ceiling( ^f_Bin^ / ^BinSize^) * ^BinSize^)" )) );

Re: Create New Column with variables
Try use n_Bin directly instead of f_Bin:
Eval( Parse( Eval Insert( "col << Set Formula(Ceiling( ^n_Bin^ / ^BinSize^) * ^BinSize^)" )) );
