Create field 'Type' based on values in other fields

[#1]

Any help is appreciated.

I have Users and Documents.

Each User can be tied to one or more documents, which that user is allowed to view.

I have 5 documents named: AR, SA, IA, ED, CS

I have 3 users: Holden, Aaron, Brent

NTNAME, DocumentName

Holden,AR

Holden,SA

Holden,IA

Holden,ED

Holden,CS

Aaron,CS

Brent,AR

Brent,SA

Brent,IA

Brent,ED

The above data linking Users and Documents is in an existing QVD

There are three different ‘Types’ of users based on the groups of documents they are assigned.

Aaron would be a type of CS

Holden would be a type of BI + CS

Brent would be a type of BI

BI has access to at least one document but its not CS

CS has access to only CS

BI+CS has access to at least one non-CS doc as well as the CS doc.

How can I assign this ‘Type’ in script?

Create another field called type based on the above parameters?

Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

Try this expression:

if(Only(DocumentName)='CS','CS',

if(Count(DocumentName)>1,

if(WildMatch(concat(DocumentName,'|'),'*CS*'),'BI +CS','BI')

))

NTNAME	Type
Aaron	CS
Brent	BI
Holden	BI +CS

Cheers

Didn't seem to work for me

Hi Aaron,

This is all the script you need for the expression to work in a straight table

Data:

LOAD * INLINE [

    NTNAME, DocumentName

    Holden,AR

    Holden,SA

    Holden,IA

    Holden,ED

    Holden,CS

    Aaron,CS

    Brent,AR

    Brent,SA

    Brent,IA

    Brent,ED

];

If you want the field to be calculated in script then try:

Data:

LOAD

NTNAME,

Concat(DocumentName,'|') as ConcDoc

Group by NTNAME;

LOAD * INLINE [

    NTNAME, DocumentName

    Holden,AR

    Holden,SA

    Holden,IA

    Holden,ED

    Holden,CS

    Aaron,CS

    Brent,AR

    Brent,SA

    Brent,IA

    Brent,ED

];

[Typed Data]:

LOAD

*,

if(ConcDoc='CS','CS',

if(SubStringCount(ConcDoc,'|')>0,

if(WildMatch(ConcDoc,'*CS*'),'BI +CS','BI')

)) as Type;

load * Resident Data;

DROP Table Data;

Giving:

NTNAME	Type
Aaron	CS
Brent	BI
Holden	BI +CS

Hi,

another solution might be:

tabNameDoc:
LOAD * INLINE [
    NTNAME, DocumentName
    Holden, AR
    Holden, SA
    Holden, IA
    Holden, ED
    Holden, CS
    Aaron, CS
    Brent, AR
    Brent, SA
    Brent, IA
    Brent, ED
];

Join
LOAD NTNAME,
    Concat(DISTINCT If(DocumentName='CS','CS','BI'),'+') as Type
Resident tabNameDoc
Group By NTNAME;

hope this helps

regards

Marco
