Re: how to change column format several columns

There are issues with your code.  The code below works, assuming the logic you are specifying is want you want.  The only statement that is not a valid statement is the << Justify Text("center").  It is only valid when referring to a display window text box.  The other errors are just improper references:

For( ii = 4, ii < 6, ii++,

       Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii] ) << Format( "Percent", 10, 1 );

       //<

       For( RowNum = 1, RowNum <= N Rows( summary_executive_RNG_alignment ), RowNum++,

              If( 0 < Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii] )[RowNum] <= 0.6,

                     Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii] ) << color cells( "RED", RowNum ),

                     If( 0.6 < Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, ii )[RowNum] <= 0.9,

                           Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii] ) << color cells( "Blue", RowNum ),

                           Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii] ) << color cells( "GREEN", RowNum )

                     )

              )

       );

);

Re: how to change column format several columns

Jim,

I was trying to get a double For to address all row (as in your example) and multiple columns ...

but no success. Any idea?

For(ii=4, ii<11, ii++,

       Column(summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii])

            << Format("Percent", 10, 1 );

            << justify text("center");

            For( RowNum = 1, RowNum <= N Rows( summary_executive_RNG_alignment ), RowNum++,

                 If( 0 < Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii])[RowNum] <= 0.6,

                      Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii] ) << color cells( "RED", RowNum ),

                      If(0.6 < Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, ii ) <= 0.9,

                           Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii]) << color cells( "Blue", RowNum ),

                           Column( summary_executive_RNG_alignment, orignal_columns0[ii]) << color cells( "GREEN", RowNum )

                      )

            )

       )

);

Hello Jim

ok just using the column property (table, column number) ...

the set color is cool. JMP allows data manipulation in a nice way ...

thank ou very much.

very instructive post

Re: how to change column format several columns

Here is some sample code that I think will give you guidance on how to change the formats and the cell colors

Names Default To Here( 1 );

dt = Current Data Table();

// Change the formats

For( i = 3, i <= 9, i++,

       Column( dt, i ) << Format( "Percent", 9, 2 )

);

// Set cell colors

For( rownum = 1, rownum <= N Rows( dt ), rownum++,

       If( Column( dt,3 )[RowNum] <= .5,

              Column( dt,3 ) << color cells( "Blue", RowNum ),

              Column( dt,3 ) << color cells( "Green", RowNum )

       )

);
