Calculations between rows based on conditionsHey, I'm new to JMP scripting, but somewhat used to python language. I'm trying to achieve the following with my dummy test table below:
1) Cycle through all rows (both before and after the row) and do calculations only on those rows where Cuvette == 11, remaining rows where Cuvette != 11 the "Output" can be set to NA or whatever.
2) The calcuation itself is between two separate rows. In rows with Cuvette == 11, the 850 nm cell of the row has to be divided with the 250 nm cell from the row that meets two conditions:
a) Cuvette == 12
b) The Pass value has to match up between the rows, e.g. Pass value for cuvette 11 == Pass value for Cuvette 12
| Pass |
850 nm |
250 nm |
Cuvette |
Output |
| 1 |
100 |
200 |
11 |
100/500 = 0,2 |
| 2 |
400 |
500 |
11 |
400/400 = 1 |
| 3 |
300 |
100 |
11 |
300 / 900 = 0.33 |
| 1 |
700 |
500 |
12 |
NA |
| 2 |
200 |
400 |
12 |
NA |
| 3 |
400 |
900 |
12 |
NA |
| 1 |
400 |
800 |
13 |
NA |
| 2 |
500 |
700 |
13 |
NA |
| 3 |
300 |
700 |

Automation and ScriptingBasic Data Analysis and ModelingRe: Calculations between rows based on conditionsTo do this in JMP like fashion, you generally would split your data and then perform the calculation (JMP is Not a Spreadsheet), then join it back or continue with the split data.
But you can use also JSL or Formula to do this calculation, but first consider the splitting option.
Re: Calculations between rows based on conditionsWelcome to the Community.
Here is an example of how I would approach your problem

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();
// Separate out the Cuvette==12 rows into a separate data table
// and then join the Pass==Pass rows to the Cuvette==11 rows
// Then calculate the Output column
// Select the Cuvette==12 rows
dt << Select Where( :Cuvette == 12 );
// Create a new subsetted data table with those rows
dt12 = dt << Subset( Selected Rows( 1 ), columns( :Pass, :"250 nm"n ) );
// Change 250 nm column name so when joined back to original table
// it will have a unique column name
dt12:"250 nm"n << Set Name( "Divisor" );
// For alignment reasons, add a new column called Cuvette and set
// it equal to 11
dt12 << New Column( "Cuvette", Set Each Value( 11 ) );
// Join the tables using the Update Platform
dt << Update(
With( dt12 ),
Match Columns( :Pass = :Pass, :Cuvette = :Cuvette )
);
// Create the new Output column
dt << New Column( "Output", Set Each Value( :"850 nm"n / :Divisor ) );
// Remove Divisor column since it is no longer needed
dt << delete columns( Divisor );
// Close the subsetted data table since it is no longer needed
Close( dt12, nosave );
// Remove the Selected RowStates from the data table
dt << clear rowstates;
Below is a more direct approach, but a far more inefficient method, which yields the same results. On a large data table this method will be quite slow
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Current Data Table();
dt << New Column( "Output",
Formula(
foundRow = [];
If( :Cuvette == 11,
curPass = :Pass;
foundRow = Current Data Table() <<
get rows where( :Cuvette == 12 & :Pass == curPass );
If( N Items( foundRow ) > 0,
:"850 nm"n / :"250 nm"n[foundRow[1]]
);
);
)
);
Re: Calculations between rows based on conditionsHere is one matrix option, but using JMP features is generally easier to understand
Names Default To Here(1);
dt = Current Data Table();
cuvette_start = 11;
cuvette_end = 12;
cuvettes = dt[0, "Cuvette"];
// Data is sorted -> we can just take values and make comparison
start_idx = Loc(cuvettes, cuvette_start);
end_idx = Loc(cuvettes, cuvette_end);
// differences
output = J(1, N Rows(dt), .);
output[start_idx] = dt[start_idx, "850 nm"] :\</img> dt[end_idx, "250 nm"];
dt << new column("R", Numeric, Continuous, Values(output));
If you can rely on the order heavily, you can use formula like this
If(:Cuvette == 11,
:"850 nm"n / :"250 nm"n[Col Min(If(:Cuvette == 12, Row(), .)) + Row() - 1];
);
The type of final formula will heavily depend on your real use case (is data sorted "properly", are you looking for more than one value comparison and so on).
