Can a JMP Data Table Column Reside in More Than One Data Table Group Simultaneously?

Peter_Bartell

During my Mastering JMP event last Friday a question came in on the chat about the possibility of having a JMP data table column being able to co-exist simultaneously in more than one data table group. I was out of time and didn't try this idea out live on the webinar...but playing with it this weekend it appears not?

I tried a couple different key stroke workflow ideas and none of them work. The only workaround I could think of was to create a completely new column with the same contents and just let JMP default to the new column name with the [2] that it appends when one inadvertently creates a column with the same name as a pre-existing column. Then just create that second group with the [2] column included. This might not be so bad anyways since you'd now have a little visual clue in reports etc. that you are working with this second group.

Or am I missing something? Ideas welcome.

Nope - I wondered about this myself. Unless there's something buried somewhere it's one column group per column.

Thanks Mike...that 'buried' phenomena is one I was thinking might be out there somewhere? I figure people like Brian Corcoran, who I think has forgotten more about JMP data tables than I'll ever know, might have some insight.

Virtual join lets you access columns from different data tables simultaneously.

After re-reading your question Peter I see that you're referring to different column groups and not different tables, so virtual join won't work but you can create a new column like you mentioned and just use a formula to reference that orginial column so that the columns will always have the save value.
