Find Adjacent Rows in the Same Category

 

Example

In the following Excel, rows with the same Block belong to the same group.

Block

Bench

4

1

5

1

The task aims to calculate two new columns. BenchAbove is the Bench of the previous row in the same group; if this row is the first row, BenchAbove will be empty. BenchBelow is the Bench of the next row in the same group; if this row is the last row, BenchBelow will be empty. The results are as follows:

Block

BenchBelow

The difficulty of this type of calculation is to get both the previous and the next rows in the same group without changing the order of rows.

Write SPL script:

A

1

=file("data.xlsx").xlsimport@t()

2

=A1.derive(~[:-1].select@1z(Block==A2.Block).Bench:BenchAbove,

~[1:].select@1(Block==A2.Block).Bench:BenchBelow)

3

=file("result.xlsx").xlsexport@(A2)

A1 Read the data of Excel

 

A2 Get adjacent rows. ~[:-1] is used to get all rows before the current row, ~[1:] is to get all rows after the current row, select is used for searching, @z option means to search from back to front, @1 option means to end the calculation when one record is found.

 

A3 Export results to result.xlsx
