Hi!
I have a table with data from two different energy meters listed in one column. I would like to split the column into two differtent columns. I cannot find any logic in the values. The table looks like this:
Date | Time | Meter |
10-7-22 | 21:00 | 100 |
10-7-22 | 22:00 | 110 |
10-7-22 | 23:00 | 2100 |
11-7-22 | 00:00 | 2110 |
11-7-22 | 01:00 | 2115 |
11-7-22 | 02:00 | 115 |
11-7-22 | 03:00 | 2118 |
11-7-22 | 04:00 | 120 |
What I would like to achieve is a table that looks like this:
Date | Time | Meter_1 | Meter_2 |
10-7-22 | 21:00 | 100 | 2100 |
10-7-22 | 22:00 | 110 | 2100 |
10-7-22 | 23:00 | 110 | 2100 |
11-7-22 | 00:00 | 110 | 2110 |
11-7-22 | 01:00 | 110 | 2115 |
11-7-22 | 02:00 | 115 | 2115 |
11-7-22 | 03:00 | 115 | 2118 |
11-7-22 | 04:00 | 120 | 2118 |
Thank you very much in advance!
it is not obvious from your sample what the calculation of the 2nd column would be.
in general you would create a new table using the original table and create the 2nd column with the new table:
noconcatenate
Table2:
load Date, Time, Meter_1, Meter_1+something as Meter_2
resident Table1;
drop table Table1;
this way you derive the value of your 2nd column from your other column/columns.
@Simon_Kruizinga It is not very clear on to how to derive meter1 and meter 2, if you could throw some light on it, it would help us understand and help you.
This is a sample of the raw data in a Google Sheet file:
The values from two different meters are stored in the same column. I would like to split this into two different columns, one for each meter. So the meter with value 10773, 10774 ... has to be put in column with name meter_1 and the values 16103,16104 ... has to be put in another column with name meter_2. Hopefully this makes it more clear for you
