Recode 1 variable from many tables

Hi,

I have many tables and in each of these tables I have the same variable, but with different names and values. I give them the same name.

In list box I have 20 different value, I want to group them to 5 value for example. I recoded them in dimension, but in this case I can't use them in future.

Please help me with idea how to easy and simple to do it?

I can recode them, when I load script. But if I change name of the variable or recode, I need to reload this table again to recoded.

Maybe it's easy to use load map or somehow recode this variable, when they are already loaded.

Thanks,

I have moved 3 tables into one sheet. By looking at it, the data is confusing to begin with and then there are nulls. I am still not clear what the final out put you want to have. Please add an excel file mock up that shows that should be the final output.

Now your data

Basically you table is Company ID, Product and Status so if you create one table out of these three tables, it should be fine. I am still not clear on what you are calling a variable?

If you open each excel file, you'll see that product name has different data (A, B,C and so on)

It's same products, but different sources gave different name for these products.

I want to combine or group them.

For example:

If(product name='A', 'aaa', if (product name='B', 'aaa', If(Product name='C', bbb', If(Product name='D', bbb'and etc.

Finally it should look like

Newproduct_name

aaa

bbb

ccc

ddd

Each table has 20-25 different variables. I selected only 2 variables which shoul be name the same to see counts by each product.

so this means that product name is coming differently from the source tables.... you will not be able to standerized them here unless you have an other grouping, their parent or any category that identify them....

then you can put these products in the specific buckets that you are trying to create...

Yes, you're right.

Now I recode them in script for each table.

Do you have any suggestions?
