Row wise calculations

AbhijitBansode — Thu, 22 Aug 2013 07:04:09 GMT

I have a below data table:

I want expected table as below:

Room Cost = Room Expenditure- Room Profit

same for telephone and other Types present in the table.

How can I calculate and generate these new rows in script?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,

Do you have any field to group the different types? Or just have to compare each name?

Are you sure that this output wouldn´t be better for your document? (All the fact tables in the same row)

Type	Cost	Expenditure	Profit
Room	200	350	150
Telephone	300	440	140

Try:

T1:

LOAD * INLINE [

Type, Value

Room Expenditure, 700

Telephone Expenditure, 500

Room Profit, 400

Telephone Profit, 100

];

load 'Room Cost' as Type,

sum(if(Type='Room Expenditure', Value, if(Type='Room Profit',-Value,0 ))) as Value

resident T1;

load 'Telephone Cost' as Type,

sum(if(Type='Telephone Expenditure', Value, if(Type='Telephone Profit',-Value,0 ))) as Value

resident T1;

Thank you for reply.

This works correctly, but i need to hardcore for all Types.

There are other Types present in the table other than Room and Telephone.

Right now I don't have any field to group different types.

If you don't have any field to group all the different types, you need one. Try creating a new field with this:

SubField(Type, ' ', 1) as NewType, // For differenciating Telephone, room,...

SubField(Type, ' ', 2) as DataType // For differenciating Expenses, cost...

Once you have this new fields, it will be easy to achieve what you want, just following what Wassennar posted.
