Is it possible to customize the Add Formula Column menu to include customize functions?

Hi JMP Community,

I want to customize the Add Formula Column menu with a few functions I frequently use. Is this menu modifiable, and if it is, what is the correct method to do so?

Thank you.

Best,

Mass CustomizationWindowsRe: Is it possible to customize the Add Formula Column menu to include customize functions?

One one hand, it's very cool that 

Add Custom Functions(
 New Custom Function(
  "custom",  // namespace in which new function resides
  "x1000",  /* function name. The completely scoped name is
   "custom:x1000".*/
 
  Function( {x}, x * 1000 ),// function definition
 
// optional message to enables this as a custom transform

  <<TRANSFORM category=""></TRANSFORM>

puts MY OWN formula into jmp and that it really shows up in the Formula editor:

 

 and not 

 

But actually, I would prefer the latter one.
Next time Jmp is started, the new function will be gone. Same for the computer of my colleague or the computer of the person @ Jmp support.

 

Is there a way to get a command into the New formula Column right click menu which produces a column with the second formula?
e.g. via an additional argument forAdd Custom Functions( or New Custom Function(<BR />

When I define a custom function, is  it possible to access the columns that were previously selected by NewFormulaColumn/GroupBy and use them as well as group by entries?

I am blind, it is right there under Custom Transform.  Thanks!

 

@Thierry_S are you referring to the menu presented when right clicking on a column header? If so I don't know of a way to do that, @Mark_Bailey if it is in that reference I must be blind because I am missing it!

 

This is the menu I think @Thierry_S refers to:

Example from help:

Add Custom Functions(
 New Custom Function(
  "custom",  // namespace in which new function resides
  "x1000",  /* function name. The completely scoped name is
   "custom:x1000".*/
 
  Function( {x}, x * 1000 ),// function definition
 
// optional message to enables this as a custom transform

  <<TRANSFORM category=""></TRANSFORM>

I do not see why not after reading the on-line help starting here.

Besides adding new custom functions ....
Is there a functionality to add existing functions?

e.g.: can I add  "is missing" to the new formula column menu?

The target: via right click menu generate a column

 

New Column( "missing(name)",	Formula( Is Missing( :name ) ))

 

up to now I just managed to generate a column 

New Column( "my is missing[name]",	Formula( hogi:my is missing( :name ) ))

[same functionality, but less useful]

via

Add Custom Functions(
	New Custom Function(
		"hogi",
		"my is missing",
		Function( {col},is missing(col)	), 
		<<TRANSFORM category=""></TRANSFORM>

 

So, with other words, is there are transform category functionality outside of the context of new custom functions?

Existing functions cannot be added to the menu by name.  You will need to create a custom function that utilizes the existing function as you have already done.
