For the past couple years when I copy and paste the formula below it has not worked consistently. I've tried typing it in the formula box and have at times been succesful but it's not consistent.
I was finally upgraded to JMP 14 last week and an option that is awesome is that I can preview a data sample to see what the formula result will look like. However, I can't figure out why this formula won't work. Below is a screenshot of the formula as well as the preview of the dataset and formula result.
Are there any suggestions?
The data looks to be left justified in the preview. Is the data type set to character for the Behavioral - physical aggression to staff column? If so, you will need to add double-quotes around the number on the right side of the == operator or change the data type of the column.
A possible issue may be that JMP may be having an issue with
Behaviorial - physical aggression to staff
Is this a calculation of a column or variable called
Behavioral
from which is subtracted a column or variable called
physical aggression to staff
or
is this a single column or variable called
Behavioral - physical aggression to staff
JMP can get confused over this. If it is one column and not a calculation, you should actually state the formula as
If( :Name("Behavioral - physical aggression to staff") == 1,
1,
0
);
The JMP formula editor will not display the :Name() function, but by you putting into your formula, it will make sure JMP understands what you are specifying.
Also, if the 1s in the table were calculated, they might not be exactly 1 (which is what you are testing for). The table displays a value that is rounded to about 10 digits. Try
Round(:Name("Behavioral - physical aggression to staff"), 5) == 1
and see if that works better.
@ErnestPasour for the awesome comment!

Thank you very much! That worked perfectly! This will save me a lot of time.
