Hi Paul, not sure if you came across the below wish. It's "In Development" (see comments) and goes in the same direction as your wish. There, a developer suggested to implement a field in which to enter the decimal sign which can be independent of the system settings or display language. This would work well for me, and I'm looking forward to it. I believe your idea is to add such a field to File -> Open, rather than the main preferences? https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/JSL-command-to-Get-and-Set-the-Display-Language-in-JMP/idi-p/241372 Gerd

Sounds fantastic. Thanks a lot, David! Thank you also for the JSL code. Works great!

If I had a direct handle on the decimal separator, that would be a great help! If I understand you correctly, this would be independent of the choice of Display Language or the check box below it, right? Ideally, it would be available via the UI and JSL, because both scenarios are relevant. So, the check box below the language would still handle currency and date formats, but would not affect the decimal separator sign, which instead would be handled by an additional check box below the current one... something like that? For scripts it would be important to be able to control that new check box via JSL. I assume that there might be issues with setting the language using JSL, because it is currently not guaranteed that everything works perfectly without restarting JMP after a language switch. If that's the case, at least having a JSL function to get the language would be helpful for situations where people run scripts that are only validated in a particular language. At the start of that script I would get the language setting and terminate further execution if the user isn't running JMP in the validated language. Thank you for looking into this! Much appreciated!

I see now Jim has already presented a solution. Here's a different approach using Tabulate and Combine Columns (Multiple Response Column) that hopefully works also on the full data set. // Groups is the example table with 2 nominal columns DT_GroupCategory = Data Table( "Groups" ); // creates a cross table Tab_DT_GroupCategory = DT_GroupCategory << Tabulate( Add Table( Column Table( Grouping Columns( :Category ) ), Row Table( Grouping Columns( :Group ) ) ) ); // make data table from it DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab = Tab_DT_GroupCategory << Make Into Data Table; DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab << Add Multiple Columns( "N Categories", 1, after( 1 ), Numeric ); Names_DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab = DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab << Get Column Names; // replace 0 by missing and everything else by column name (probably not the most efficient way to do this) For( i=3, i<=N Items( Names_DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab ), i++, Column( DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab, i ) << Data Type( "Character" ); For( j=1, j<=N Rows( DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab ), j++, If( Column( DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab, i )[j] == "0", Column( DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab, i )[j] = "", Column( DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab, i )[j] = Char( Names_DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab[i] ); ) ) ); // make multiple response column with Cols -> Utilities -> Combine Columns DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab << Combine Columns( delimiter( "," ), Columns( 2::N Items( Names_DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab ) ), Selected Columns are Indicator Columns( 0 ), Column Name( "Values(Category)" ) ); // add formula to get N Categories. +1 is added for one less comma, then div by 2 to get number of categories Column( DT_GroupCategory_CrossTab, "N Categories" ) << Formula( (Length( :Name( "Values(Category)" ) ) + 1) / 2 ); Tab_DT_GroupCategory << Close Window;

I would like a JSL command that allows me to change the Display Language in JMP - not only the check box below the language, but the language itself. Being able to check what Display Language is currently used, would also be very helpful. When using Display Language English on a German OS, I can use the checkbox below to tell JMP if decimal points (tick) or decimal commas (no tick) are expected. When using Display Language German on a German OS, the tick makes no difference in that respect. As our users have both language options it's important to know what language they're using in JMP before a common script is run on their system. Currently I can only think of a poor workaround to check the language and give a warning if they're using the wrong language for the script they want to use.

I've had the same difficulties with Group Fonts in Graph Builder. The best workaround for me is CTRL SHIFT + to enlarge everything in JMP, copy/paste, then reduce everything again with CTRL SHIFT -. Works on windows, not sure for Mac. The following wish goes in a similar direction: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Font-Table-in-Graph-Builder-to-quickly-change-Font-settings-for/idi-p/51365

Just tried it, fantastic, thank you!

Thank you for providing these, Xan! Helped me with a current application.

I would like to see a section for an MSA Type I Study with cg and cgk reporting. It's a very simple calculation which can be done manually, but it would be nice to have a way of reporting this with JMP. Possibly, Expansion of the Measurement Systems Analysis section to include the 5 components of measurement error includes that idea under Accuracy / Bias.

gerd · ‎06-11-2019

I was surprised by some of the comments being made above, so I had another look, and I believe my confusion stems from the two available "MSA Method"s within "Measurement Systems Analysis". The default setting is "EMP" which I never use, and I believe the user @jszarka is referring to that "MSA Method". When choosing the "MSA Method" "Gauge R&R" in the Launch Window, there is a field for a "Standard" column, and when choosing "Model Type" "Crossed" Interactions are part of Reproducibility. The default "MSA Method" can be changed in the main preferences. The "MSA Method" "Gauge R&R" within "Measurement Systems Analysis" and the "Variability / Attribute Gauge Chart" appear to be closely related platforms as when relaunching a Gauge R&R from Measurement Systems Analysis one ends up in the Launch Window for Variability / Attribute Gauge Chart, which I find confusing. What I'm missing is a traditional Type I study with cg and cgk output.

I just realised that the key aspect of the above can be done in JMP 14.2 using File -> Import Multiple Files... I tried .png and .jpg. The images are imported into one Expression column and their names go into a separate column (if selected). This is a great help, developers, thanks you!

I agree that there could be better options to handle this in Graph Builder. The following wish goes in the same direction and might be of interest to you: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Font-Table-in-Graph-Builder-to-quickly-change-Font-settings-for/idi-p/51365

The following wish replaces this one: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Enhance-quot-Name-Selection-in-Column-quot-by-Label-Column-and/idi-p/110714

gerd · ‎02-13-2019

I would like to be able to label selected points in Graph Builder with new text without having to go through the data table. @Jeff_Perkinson suggested to use right-click -> Rows -> Name Selection in Column... to get most of what I'm looking for, which is great. Building onto that suggestion, I think the following would be a great enhancement for "Name Selection in Column": Proving tick options to label selected rows and the newly created column, as shown in the bottom of the next graph. Result: JMP Example Data: Tablet Measurements

gerd · ‎02-13-2019

Thank you for the tip, Jeff! I didn't think of this, and it does get me pretty far. I will open a new wish that fits better to the new circumstances, and this one can be closed as "already offered" or so.

gerd · ‎02-12-2019

It would be great if a selected point in Graph Builder could be labelled with new information right there. So basically, it's a mixture of Row Label and Annotate - new text that is connected to a data point. Maybe one could select a point, right-click -> Rows -> Row Label with New Information, a small window would open up with a field for new text, and when clicking OK a new column would be created (in the background) and labelled, and the new text would be written into the selected row for that column and the row also labelled. Maybe there could be further options to select an already existing column as target for the new text info or sth like that. This would help if one wanted to do this with a number of points and not create a new label column for each point.

gerd · ‎02-12-2019

It would be great if labels in Graph Builder could be more easily aligned, e.g. by a right-click -> Align Labels, or Align Selected Labels (alongside an invisible vertical or horizontal axis). If something like this already exists, please give me a hint... I often label e.g. two-dimensional outliers by their serial number, align labels to make them readable, resize the graph at some point, and then have to start over again (see the Hollywood Movies example below). Maybe it could be possible to group selected labels (e.g. after alignment) and then move them around as one group of labels. Or maybe after alignment, labels could be allocated their X and Y coordinates at that moment, and when resizing the graph, only font sizes for labels are adjusted for readability, but labels remain at their coordinates.

gerd · ‎02-07-2019

Hi Patrick, I agree that this would be ideal. Thank you for the link to @di_michelson 's script. I just tried it. It's a very useful tool!

Hi, if I understand you correctly, you're looking for a submenu in Measurement Systems Analysis or DOE that allows easy generation of Designs for Gage R&R studies, right? People who often use the DOE menu will probably find a way to construct appropriate designs for Gage R&R with it, but I would also like a submenu for that specific purpose. Those who carry out Gage R&R analyses are not necessarily the same people who are used to the DOE menu from product or process development, and so a designated submenu for Gage R&R design would make it much easier for them to set those up.

Diese Frage hat Katie Taylor Stone, JMP Principal Campaigns and Events Specialist, kürzlich auf Linkedin ( https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6494306603125272576/ ) gestellt: "What should be the next location for our Discovery Summit Europe conference?" Welche Ideen hat die D-A-CH Gemeinschaft zu diesem Thema? Schreiben Sie Ihre Vorschläge hier auf, und ich werde Sie gerne an Katie weiterreichen. Ich wette, es gibt jede Menge gute Einfälle!

The new Destructive Degradation Platform (I believe since JMP 13) provides a number of excellent Profilers for analyzing crossing times (see example below for the Adhesive Bond example data). It would be fantastic if the Repeated Measures Degradation Platform had the same kind of Profilers.

gerd · ‎01-23-2019

I'm often asked whether it's possible to make boxplot widths in Graph Builder proportional to group size, and I think this would be a very useful option. In Fit Y by X this works by using a proportional X axis. Since JMP 14 it's also possible to indicate group sizes by using Caption Box with Per Factor, which is great, but proportional widths would make differences more obvious.

The distribution calculator is a great tool for teaching and to look up certain quantiles. Other tools (e.g. 'Confidence Interval for One Proportion' or 'Sample Size for Confidence Intervals') are also a great help, but they're hidden away under the Help -> Sample Data -> Teaching Scripts / Calculators menus. I would love it if they were more easily accessible. There are add-ins available with these contents, but they don't always work as reliable as when going through Help -> Sample Data -> ...

gerd · ‎12-14-2018

It would be nice to have an option to add a point to a Weibull Plot (Compare Distributions in general), that indicates a Reliability Standard (e.g. less 5% fail at 1000 Hours with 95% confidence as in the graph below - Devalt example data). In the plot I used two reference lines, but to add just a point there via the red triangle would be my wish. Personally, I use the Profiler for this purpose, but I know more than a few people who are used to having this point from other software, and prefer this view.

This wish is similar, but refers to the Weibull distribution in Fit Life by X: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Add-Weibull-beta-to-Fit-Life-by-X-output-additionally-to-sigma/idc-p/85857#M423

This wish is similar, but refers to the Lognormal distribution in Life Distribution - Compare Groups: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/In-Life-Distribution-Compare-Groups-show-comparison-of-Lognormal/idi-p/58203

gerd · ‎12-14-2018

In Fit Life by X currently only sigma = 1/beta is reported in the Weibull results (see Devalt example data below). For users familiar with the Life Distribution platform who then start using Fit Life by X, this makes it hard to read and to compare. With the Weibull distribution everybody's looking for a beta. If you could add a hint that exp(mu) = Weibull alpha, that would also be very helpful.
