Locating variables across multiple tables

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi, I'm trying to track a certain variable through several data sets and look at some corresponding numbers as time goes on.I have 91 excel sheets with 10,000 lines, but I'll make a silly simplified example..... I need to know how many fleas are on a dog every year, but the order of the dogs changes, and sometimes new dogs are added... year 1:
  • Spike 10
  • Mr.Dog 12
  • Chow 11
Year 2:
  • Spike 11
  • Chow 13
  • Mr.Dog 15
Year 3:
  • * Spike 18
  • * Chow 17
  • * Mr.Dog 16
  • * Charlie 20
I need an outcome that looks sort of like this
  • * Spike 10 11 18
  • * Chow 11 13 17
  • * Mr.Dog 16...etc
  • * Charlie 20
I created a loop that picks a name as a variable and then scrolls through the column containing names until it finds a match, in which case it grabs the corresponding values from the same row. I'm having a tough time with errors defining what a variable is...can a text/number combo not be a variable? does it need to be in parentheses? I imagine there is an easier way to do this in general.
for i=1:9572;
if CO01(i,3)==302;
t302(i,1,1)=CO01(i,3);
t302(i,2,1)=CO01(i,4);
t302(i,3,1)=CO01(i,5);
t302(i,4,1)=CO01(i,6);
t302(i,5,1)=CO01(i,9);
t302(i,6,1)=i;
%y=y+1;
end
end
for i=1:9500;
nt302(i,1,1)=t302(i,2,1);
nt302(i,1,2)=t302(i,3,1);
nt302(i,1,3)=t302(i,4,1);
nt302(i,1,4)=t302(i,5,1);
end
for i=1:9500;
row=t302(i,6,1);
name1=nCO01(row,1);
for j=1:9500;
if nCO03(j,1)==name1(1,1);
nt302(j,2,1)= CO03(j,4);
nt302(j,2,2)= CO03(j,5);
nt302(j,2,3)= CO03(j,6);
nt302(j,2,4)= CO03(j,9);
end
end
end

How's this:
>> dogs = categorical(["Spike";"Mr. Dog";"Chow";"Spike";"Chow";"Mr. Dog";"Spike";"Chow";"Mr. Dog";"Charlie"]);
>> fleas = [10;12;11;11;13;15;18;17;16;20];
>> years = [1;1;1;2;2;2;3;3;3;3];
>> t = table(years,dogs,fleas)
t =
10×3 table
years dogs fleas
_____ _______ _____
1 Spike 10
1 Mr. Dog 12
1 Chow 11
2 Spike 11
2 Chow 13
2 Mr. Dog 15
3 Spike 18
3 Chow 17
3 Mr. Dog 16
3 Charlie 20
>> unstack(t,'fleas','dogs')

ans =

years Charlie Chow Mr_Dog Spike
_____ _______ ____ ______ _____
1 NaN 11 12 10
2 NaN 13 15 11
3 20 17 16 18
Is that "All Dogs Go to Heaven", or John Steinbeck?
