Create tables based on partial match in variable names in other table

17 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi Matlab-gurus,
I have a question on creating new tables based on partial matches in variable names from an original table. I'm trying with the strcmp-function and and eval-function. I know this is not optimal but it's my best shot for now. See below for my attached code. matchVals are the partial matches in the variable names that I consider when creating the new tables. The matchvals are on position 5 to 8 (see strcat).
Thanks in advance.
names5 = Table_A.Properties.VariableNames;%1
names6 = Table_B.Properties.VariableNames;%1
matchVals = {'1234', '5678','9101','1123'}; %part of the variable names that match => four new tables
numTables = numel(matchVals);
%%
tableNames_ = cell(numTables,1);
for k = 1:numel(matchVals)
idl5 = cellfun(@(x) strcmp(x(5),matchVals{k})... %assessing position 5 to 10 for correct variable names
&&strcmp(x(6),matchVals{k})...
&&strcmp(x(7),matchVals{k})...
&&strcmp(x(8),matchVals{k}),names5);
idl6 = cellfun(@(x) strcmp(x(5),matchVals{k})...%assessing position 5 to 10 for correct variable names
&&strcmp(x(6),matchVals{k})...
&&strcmp(x(7),matchVals{k})...
&&strcmp(x(8),matchVals{k}),names6);
%
eval(['Summary',matchVals{k},' = [Table_A(:,idl5) Table_B(:,idl6)]']);
tableNames_EC2217{k} = ['Summary',matchVals{k}]; %trying to create new table
end

It's not clear why you want to split a single table into 4 tables, but here's one way:
T = readtable('m.xlsx');
head(T)
ans = 8×8 table
absd1234xs absd5678xs aood9101xs aood1123xs adad1234xs aiid5678xs adsd9101xs addd1123xs __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 1 3 2 2 312 1 2 1 5 4 2 1 2 1 1 2 6 5.6667 2 0 104 -1.6667 -2 -2.3333 9 7.1667 2 -1 103 -3.6667 -4.5 -5.3333 11.5 8.6667 2 -2 102 -5.6667 -7 -8.3333 14 10.167 2 -3 101 -7.6667 -9.5 -11.333 16.5 11.667 2 -4 100 -9.6667 -12 -14.333 19
matchVals = {'1234', '5678','9101','1123'};
n_match = numel(matchVals);
T_new = cell(1,n_match);
for k = 1:n_match
idx = contains(T.Properties.VariableNames,matchVals{k});
T_new{k} = T(:,idx);
end
T_new % cell array of tables
T_new = 1×4 cell array
{10000×2 table} {10000×2 table} {10000×2 table} {10000×2 table}
head(T_new{1})
ans = 8×2 table
absd1234xs adad1234xs __________ __________ 1 5 3 1 4 1 5.6667 -1.6667 7.1667 -3.6667 8.6667 -5.6667 10.167 -7.6667 11.667 -9.6667
head(T_new{2})
ans = 8×2 table
absd5678xs aiid5678xs __________ __________ 2 6 2 2 2 1 2 -2 2 -4.5 2 -7 2 -9.5 2 -12
It would be better to index into the existing table:
for k = 1:n_match
idx = contains(T.Properties.VariableNames,matchVals{k});
% do what you need to do with T(:,idx)
end

T.Properties is a TableProperties object, essentially a scalar struct, so it doesn't make sense to try to index its columns with T.Properties(:,idx).
T = readtable('m.xlsx');
T.Properties
ans =
TableProperties with properties: Description: '' UserData: [] DimensionNames: {'Row' 'Variables'} VariableNames: {'absd1234xs' 'absd5678xs' 'aood9101xs' 'aood1123xs' 'adad1234xs' 'aiid5678xs' 'adsd9101xs' 'addd1123xs'} VariableDescriptions: {} VariableUnits: {} VariableContinuity: [] RowNames: {} CustomProperties: No custom properties are set. Use addprop and rmprop to modify CustomProperties.
You can sum all the columns of T with variable names matching each element of matchVals, by doing sum(T{:,idx},2) (here I'm storing the sums in the struct array and also in new columns of T - two different options):
matchVals = {'1234', '5678','9101','1123'};
n_match = numel(matchVals);
S = struct('name',matchVals,'data',cell(1,n_match));
for k = 1:n_match
idx = contains(T.Properties.VariableNames,matchVals{k});
% sum all columns of T matching matchVals{k},
% store in data field of S(k):
S(k).data = sum(T{:,idx},2);
% --- or ---
% sum all columns of T matching matchVals{k},
% store in a new column of T called "sum_1234", etc.:
T.(['sum_' matchVals{k}]) = sum(T{:,idx},2);
end
head(T) % now T has new columns, sum_1234, etc.
ans = 8×12 table
absd1234xs absd5678xs aood9101xs aood1123xs adad1234xs aiid5678xs adsd9101xs addd1123xs sum_1234 sum_5678 sum_9101 sum_1123 __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ________ ________ ________ ________ 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 1 6 8 11 5 3 2 2 312 1 2 1 5 4 4 3 317 4 2 1 2 1 1 2 6 5 3 3 8 5.6667 2 0 104 -1.6667 -2 -2.3333 9 4 0 -2.3333 113 7.1667 2 -1 103 -3.6667 -4.5 -5.3333 11.5 3.5 -2.5 -6.3333 114.5 8.6667 2 -2 102 -5.6667 -7 -8.3333 14 3 -5 -10.333 116 10.167 2 -3 101 -7.6667 -9.5 -11.333 16.5 2.5 -7.5 -14.333 117.5 11.667 2 -4 100 -9.6667 -12 -14.333 19 2 -10 -18.333 119
S(1).data % now each S(k).data is a single column
ans = 10000×1
6.0000 4.0000 5.0000 4.0000 3.5000 3.0000 2.5000 2.0000 1.5000 1.0000

thank you. This is preferrable compared to working with tons of tables. I even managed to include the matching variables as headings in the corresponding plots. Not the easiest to do include legends for the columns in each plot haha, but I will manage

Convert your cellstrs to strings
string(t.Properties.VariableNames)
Then you can use any of the easy string matching functions like matches startsWith or any of the patterns.

I changed the cellstr to strings but cannot manage to identify the patters. Do you maybe know how i could do this within my loop attached above?
My four table outputs are of type: 10 000×0 empty table (i.e. the rows are empty which they should not be)

I attached the file I'm working with. I want to create four new columns based on the coloring of the variables (and the matches are based on the strings in bold)
