Put in table

[#1]

Hello everyone,

I've had a problem for a while on JMP, I use the table option to calculate averages (around 900 columns)

All columns start with the same expression “time #number”

I'm looking for a script that could execute this table option with a variable in which all these "tps..." columns would be stored.

An example of the database and code I use:

dt = Current Data Table();abc_cols = Filter Each( {col_name}, dt << Get Column Names( "String", Continuous ),
	Starts With( col_name, "tps" )
);


Local( {obj},
	obj = Data Table( "B" ) << Tabulate(
		Show Control Panel( 0 ),
		Add Table(
			Column Table(
				Analysis Columns(
					Column(abc_cols)
				),
				Statistics( Mean )
			),
			Row Table ( Grouping Columns ( :Article))
			)
		);
	obj << Make Into Data Table;	
	obj << Close Window;
);

I would suggest using Summary instead of Tabulate. In this case you can use Eval() around your column listing

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

col_list = {"height", "weight"};

// using summary
dt_summary = dt << Summary(
	Mean(Eval(col_list)),
	Freq("None"),
	Weight("None"),
	link to original datatable(0)
);

// using tabulate
tab = dt << Tabulate(
	Show Control Panel(0),
	Add Table(Column Table(Analysis Columns(Eval(col_list)), Statistics(Mean)))
);

dt_tab = tab << Make Into Data Table;
tab << close Window;
