combine actions/scripts

Hi,

 

I'd like to do a tabulate, make into data table, and then add calculated metric based on the data table. Below is what I have now (copying script of each action). I'm not sure how to combine the action of data table and the new metric. Please help, thanks in advance!

 

dt = Tabulate(
 Show Control Panel( 0 ),
 Add Table(
  Column Table(
   Analysis Columns(
    :Name( "201733 Weekly COMP Store Sales" ),
    :Name( "201833 Weekly COMP Store Sales" )
   )
  ),
  Row Table(
   Grouping Columns( :Name( "18 IRI Market" ) ),
   Add Aggregate Statistics( :Name( "18 IRI Market" ) )
  )
 )
);
 
dt << makeintodatatable;
 
 
dt << New Column( "ratio",
 Numeric,
 "Continuous",
 Format( "Best", 12 ),
 Formula( :Name( "Sum(201833 Weekly COMP Store Sales)" ) / :Name( "Sum(201733 Weekly COMP Store Sales)" ) ),
 Set Selected
);

Re: combine actions/scripts

Try Summarize().  Also, you can add an "Invisible" parameter to the Tabulate Platform, so you never see the actual display....

Re: combine actions/scriptsQuick question: is there a Groupby function in JSL (like in python) to replace the tabulate function?
Re: combine actions/scriptsThank you so much Jim!
Yes this is exactly what I need. Adding calculated metric on top of the new data table generated by tabulate. Thanks a lot!Re: combine actions/scripts

See my comments in my changes to your script below

dt = current data table();

// dt normally is a reference to a data table, as I have referenced
// in the statement above.  The variable "tab", below, will refer to the
// tabulate platform 
tab = dt << Tabulate(
 Show Control Panel( 0 ),
 Add Table(
  Column Table(
   Analysis Columns(
    :Name( "201733 Weekly COMP Store Sales" ),
    :Name( "201833 Weekly COMP Store Sales" )
   )
  ),
  Row Table(
   Grouping Columns( :Name( "18 IRI Market" ) ),
   Add Aggregate Statistics( :Name( "18 IRI Market" ) )
  )
 )
);

// the dt2 variable will point to the new output data table
dt2 = tab << makeintodatatable; 
 
// I am a little confused as to what data table you really want to 
// add the new column to......I am changing the dt data tablereference 
// to dt2, it is in the output data table that thes columns exist
dt2 << New Column( "ratio",
 Numeric,
 "Continuous",
 Format( "Best", 12 ),
 Formula(
  :Name( "Sum(201833 Weekly COMP Store Sales)" ) /
  :Name( "Sum(201733 Weekly COMP Store Sales)" )
 ),
 Set Selected
);
