Assign values containing in the list

Hi,

 

this problem really puzzles me.

 

I want to assign values from table 1 (dt_group) to table 2 (dt_subset). 

So iterate through each row of Table 2 and then compare the rows of the table 2 Product column with each row of table 1 ProductGroups and then assign the Limits values to the _LIMITS column in table 1 if matching sting is found. How would I script this?

table 1:

table 2:

 

I already tried and have problem with comparing strings from both tables...

 

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt_subset = Current Data Table();
col_names = dt_subset << get column names( string );
dt_group = Data Table( "dt_groups" );
aa_limits = Associative Array( dt_group:Tests << get values, dt_group:Limits << get values );

For( i = 1, i <= N Items( aa_limits ), i++, 
	
	If( Contains( aa_limits, col_names[i] ),
		curname = Column( dt_subset, col_names[i] ) << get name;
						
						
		new_col = dt_subset << New Column( (curname || "_LIMITS"),
			Numeric,
			Continuous,
			Format( "Percent", 12, 2 )
							
		);
		dt_subset << Move Selected Columns( new_col, After( Column( dt_subset, curname ) ) );
				
	)
);

Thanks,

J

 

Automation and ScriptingRe: Assign values containing in the list

Here is how I would do what you have specified

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt_subset = Current Data Table();
col_names = dt_subset << get column names( string );
dt_group = Data Table( "dt_groups" );
//aa_limits = Associative Array( dt_group:Tests << get values, dt_group:Limits << get values );

For( i = 1, i <= N Rows( dt_group ), i++,
	found = Contains( col_names, dt_group:Tests[i] );
	If( found  > 0, 
		//curname = Column( dt_subset, col_names[i] ) << get name;
		Eval(
			Eval Expr(
				new_col = dt_subset << New Column( col_names[found] || "_LIMITS",
					Numeric,
					Continuous,
					Format( "Percent", 12, 2 ),
					set each value( Expr( dt_group:limits[i] ) )
							
				)
			)
		);
		dt_subset << Move Selected Columns( new_col, After( Column( dt_subset, col_names[found] ) ) );
				
	)
);

Make sure your names in the dt_group:tests column match the column names.  You may have some extra blank spaces in column names compared to the Tests values.
