Re: Replacing value in a column

Here are 3 different ways to do this:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();

For Each Row(
	If( :Fruit == "Mango",
		:Color = "Black";
		:Quantity = 10;
	)
);
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();

For( i = 1, i <= N Rows( dt ), i++,
	If( :Fruit[i] == "Mango",
		:Color[i] = "Black";
		:Quantity[i] = 10;
	)
);
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();

Try( :Color[dt << get rows where( :Fruit == "Mango" )] = "Black" );
Try( :Quantity[dt << get rows where( :Fruit == "Mango" )] = 10 );

Re: Replacing value in a column

Thanks !This works.What if I dont know the value in columns.

If fruit is mango then I want to replace Quantity column value by color column value.

I was able to extend the for loop to replace values in the columns
