Update name column

[#1]

Hello

I have 2 tables

1) Pareto_table with name columns 1 and 2 

2) the second Date_table I have the same numbers 1 and 2 in column "Rank"

my question is,  how I can update by the script JSL in Pareto_table the column 1 to value of 2024-01-05 and  and 2 to value 2024-03-13?

in the end it will look like in this table example

Thank you

Names Default To Here( 1 );

dtPareto = Data Table( "Pareto_table" );
dtDate = Data Table( "Date_table" );

// It appears that your Date column is a character column, 
// not a JMP Date column.  Therefore the following will
// work
For Each Row(
	Try(
		Column( dtPareto, Char( dtDate:Rank ) ) << set name( dtDate:date )
	)
);

// If the Date column is a JMP Date column the set name() message would
// have to be modified to the time format you want to use for the name
//  something like
//  << set name( format( dtDate:date, "m/d/y"))

This is untested code, but it should work
