How to get the row number of colored cells in a column and assign it a tag (say "1") in a newly created column?

[#1]

I used Color Out of Spec Values() to color spec fails in my measurement data. I have multiple columns with measurement data and the out of spec values for each column get colored according to the spec for each parameter column.

For each parameter column I want to create an adjacent column which assigns a "1" when the cell is colored otherwise "0".

How to achieve this via JSL?

This gives idea how you can handle the situation for one column

Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Open("$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp");
a = {1, 3, 5};
b = {2, 4, 6};
c = {7, 8, 9};

:height << color cells({{"Red", a}, {"blue", b}, {"yellow", c}});
:weight << color cells({{"Red", a}});
:age << color cells({{"Red", a}, {"blue", b}});


get_colored_cells = Function({dt, colname}, {Default Local},
	colscript = Column(dt, colname) << Get Script;
	l = Substitute(Name Expr(colscript), Expr(New Column()), List());
	colored_cells = {};
	Try(
		colors = l["Color Cells"];
		If(Type(colors[1]) == "List",
			jmptrickery = 1;
		,
			jmptrickery = 0;
		);
		For Each({color}, colors,
			If(jmptrickery,
				Insert Into(colored_cells, color[2]);
			,
				Insert Into(colored_cells, color);
			);
		);
	);
	return(Matrix(colored_cells));
);

colname = "age";
// for single column
rows = J(1, N Rows(dt), 0);
colored_rows = get_colored_cells(dt, colname);
rows[colored_rows] = 1;
dt << New Column("result", Numeric, Nominal, Values(rows));

you can then create additional column to color each column when you loop over them

@jthi Thanks. I have adapted your script to use with a dataset matching closely to mine. It works fine for one column name but not when I loop over column names.  Also, how do I place each newly created column beside (on the right of) the column on which the operation is performed within the loop?

measColNames = dt << get column names(Numeric,Continuous ); show (measColNames[1]);

For( i = 1, i <= N Items( measColNames), i++,
	rows = J( 1, N Rows( dt ), 0 );
	colored_rows = get_colored_cells( dt, measColNames[i]);
	rows[colored_rows] = 1;

//colname = "NPN1";

/*rows = J(1, N Rows(dt), 0);
colored_rows = get_colored_cells(dt, colname);
rows[colored_rows] = 1;
dt << New Column("result", Numeric, Nominal, Values(rows));*/

Don't use For loop and use << move selected columns to move your columns after your specified column
