Grouping Variables using rowfun Function Rearranging Order to Alphabetical

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
How does one keep the original sequencing of variables used for matching in the rowfun?
% Guillaume's Code from Prior Question
data = readtable('ML_Q_3.xlsx', 'ReadVariableNames', false);
%optionally, give better name to the variables of the table
%data.Properties.VariableNames = {'???', '????'}
data = rmmissing(data); %get rid of empty rows
sorted = rowfun(@(v) {v}, data, 'GroupingVariables', 1); %group column 2 by column 1
The resulting sorted names are in alphabetical order (col 1) ['A','B','F','R','X'] .
Where I require it to be per the original ['B','F','R','X','A'] .
I can not find anything in the documentation rowfun how to specify to keep the original order.

unique() with 'stable' option. Take the third output and use it as the grouping for splitapply()

Stephen's elaboration of what I wrote is correct. You need the third of the three possible outputs from unique() in order to use as the grouping variable for splitapply()

data = readtable('ML_Q_2_2.xlsx', 'ReadVariableNames', false);
data = rmmissing(data); %get rid of empty rows
[~,~,X] = unique(data,'stable')
output = splitapply(@sum,data, X) % Error returned
Error returned for "output":
Group numbers must be a vector of positive integers, and cannot be a sparse vector.
Also, "X" is returning a vector based on the values in the second column and not the key variables of the first column (data):
I.E.
[1 2 3 4 5 1 6 7 8 9 1 10 11 12 13 1 14 15 16 1 17 18 19 1 20 21 22 ].
Not [1 2 3 4 5].
I resolved this by specifying the first column
[~,~,X] = unique(data(:,1),'stable')
I then used the following code to sum the values of the second column to their correlating key variables.
grouped = splitapply(@sum,data(:,2), X)
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Walter.
