I have tried to create unique Textboxes control names for later use, i.e., assign corresponding values from datatables to each of textboxes. I have 128 questions of a survey in a datatable that are divided into group. For example, ABgroup.count = 4 meaning there are 4 questions for group AM. ACgroup.count = 18 and so on with total of 128 rows. Questions are categories into L (likeness), Y (yes/no), or C (comment). L has 4 possibilities of votes (strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree). I plan to create textboxes control name for AM group as following
datatable.count = 4
Q1: txtbx1.Name = AM100
L type: txtbx2.Name = AM100a; txtbx3.Name = AM100b; txtbx3.Name = AM100c; txtbx5.Name = AM100d
Q2: txtbox6.Name = AM101
Y type: txtbx7.Name = AM101y; txtbx8.Name = AM101n
Q3: similar as Q1
Q4 / C type: txtbx13.Name = AM103c
My question should I create textboxes controls separately for each group as described above? Or create something that dynamically create all textboxes control names? either way, can you please show me how to achieve it? Thank you.

I think my title is kinda unclear but I don't konw how to tell that otherwise.
My problem is:
We have users that belong to groups, there are many types of groups and any user belong to exaclty one group for each type.
Example: With group types A, B and C, containing respectively the groups (A1; A2; A3), (B1; B2) and (C1; C2; C3)
Every User must have a list of groups like [A1, B1, C1] or [A1, B2, C3] but never [A1, A2, B1] or [A1, C2]
We have messages that target to certain groups but not just a union, it can be more complex collection operations
Example: we can have message intended to [A1, B1, C3], [A1, *, *], [A1|A2, *, *] or even like ([A1, B1, C2] | [A2, B2, C1])
(* = any group of the type, | = or)
Messages are stored in a SQL DB, and users can retrieve all messages intended to their groups
How may I store messages and make my Query to reproduce this behavior ?
An option could be to encode both the user groups and the message targets in a (big) integer built on the powers of 2, and then base your query on a bitwise AND between user group code and message target code.
The idea is, group 1 is 1, group 2 is 2, group 3 is 4 and so on.
Level 1:
Assumptions:
you know in advance how many group types you have, and you have very few of them
you don't have more than 64 groups per type (assuming you work with 64-bit integers)
the message has only one target: A1|A2,B..,C... is ok, A*,B...,C... is ok, (A1,B1,C1)|(A2,B2,C2) is not.
Solution:
Encode each user group as the corresponding power of 2
Encode each message target as the sum of the allowed values: if groups 1 and 3 are allowed (A1|A3) the code will be 1+4=5, if all groups are allowed (A*) the code will be 2**64-1
you will have a User table and a Message table, and both will have one field for each group type code
The query will be WHERE (u.g1 & m.g1) * (u.g2 & m.g2) * ... * (u.gN & m.gN) <> 0
Level 2:
Assumptions:
you have some more group types, and/or you don't know in advance how many they are, or how they are composed
you don't have more than 64 groups in total (e.g. 10 for the first type, 12 for the second, ...)
the message still has only one target as above
Solution:
encode each user group and each message target as a single integer, taking care of the offset: if the first type has 10 groups they will be encoded from 1 to 1023 (2**10-1), then if the second type has 12 groups they will go from 1024 (2**10) to 4194304 (2**(10+12)-1), and so on
you will still have a User table and a Message table, and both will have one single field for the cumulative code
you will need to define a function which is able to check the user group vs the message target separately by each range; this can be difficult to do in SQL, and depends on which engine you are using
following is a Python implementation of both the encoding and the check
class IdEncoder:
def __init__(self, sizes):
self.sizes = sizes
self.grouplimits = {}
offset = 0
for i,size in enumerate(sizes):
self.grouplimits[i] = (2**offset, 2**(offset + size)-1)
offset += size
def encode(self, vals):
n = 0
for i, val in enumerate(vals):
if val == '*':
g = self.grouplimits[i][1] - self.grouplimits[i][0] + 1
else:
svals = val.split('|')
g = 0
for sval in svals:
g += 2**(int(sval)-1)
if i > 0:
g *= self.grouplimits[i][0]
print(g)
n += g
return n
def check(self, user, message):
res = False
for i,size in enumerate(self.sizes):
if user%2**size & message%2**size == 0:
break
if i < len(self.sizes)-1:
user >>= size
message >>= size
else:
res = True
return res
c = IdEncoder([10,12,10])
m3 = c.encode(['1|2','*','*'])
u1 = c.encode(['1','1','1'])
c.check(u1,m3)
True
u2=c.encode(['4','1','1'])
c.check(u2,m3)
False
Level 3:
Assumptions:
you adopt one of the above solutions, but you need multiple targets for each message
Solution:
You will need a third table, MessageTarget, containing the target code fields as above and a FK linking to the message
The query will search for all the MessageTarget rows compatible with the User group code(s) and show the related Message data
So you have 3 main tables:
Messages
Users
Groups
You then create 2 relationship tables:
Message-Group
User-Group
If you want to limit users to have access to just "their" messages then you join:
User > User-Group > Message-Group > Message
I have a pandas data frame,
Currently the list column is a string, I want to delimit this by spaces and replicate rows for each primary key would be associated with each item in the list. Can you please advise me on how I can achieve this?
Edit:
I need to copy down the value column after splitting and stacking the list column
If your data frame is df you can do:
df.List.str.split(' ').apply(pd.Series).stack()
and you will get
Primary Key
0 0 a
1 b
2 c
1 0 d
1 e
2 f
dtype: object
You are splitting the variable List on spaces, turning the resulting list into a series, and then stacking it to turn it into long format, indexed on the primary key, along with a sequence for each item obtained from the split.
My version:
df['List'].str.split().explode()
produces
0 a
0 b
0 c
1 d
1 e
1 f
With regards to the Edit of the question, the following tweak will give you want you need I think:
df['List'] = df['List'].str.split()
df.explode('List')
Here is a solution.
df = df.assign(**{'list':df['list'].str.split()}).explode('list')
df['cc'] = df.groupby(level=0)['list'].cumcount()
df.set_index(['cc'],append=True)
I'm sorry, I know this is basic but I've tried to figure it out myself for 2 days by sifting through documentation to no avail.
My code:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
name = ["bob","bobby","bombastic"]
age = [10,20,30]
price = [111,222,333]
share = [3,6,9]
list = [name,age,price,share]
list2 = np.transpose(list)
dftest = pd.DataFrame(list2, columns = ["name","age","price","share"])
print(dftest)
name age price share
0 bob 10 111 3
1 bobby 20 222 6
2 bombastic 30 333 9
Want to divide all elements in 'price' column with all elements in 'share' column. I've tried:
print(dftest[['price']/['share']]) - Failed
dftest['price']/dftest['share'] - Failed, unsupported operand type
dftest.loc[:,'price']/dftest.loc[:,'share'] - Failed
Wondering if I could just change everything to int or float, I tried:
dftest.astype(float) - cant convert from str to float
Ive tried iter and items methods but could not understand the printouts...
My only suspicion is to use something called iterate, which I am unable to wrap my head around despite reading other old posts...
Please help me T_T
Apologies in advance for the somewhat protracted answer, but the question is somewhat unclear with regards to what exactly you're attempting to accomplish.
If you simply want price[0]/share[0], price[1]/share[1], etc. you can just do:
dftest['price_div_share'] = dftest['price'] / dftest['share']
The issue with the operand types can be solved by:
dftest['price_div_share'] = dftest['price'].astype(float) / dftest['share'].astype(float)
You're getting the cant convert from str to float error because you're trying to call astype(float) on the ENTIRE dataframe which contains string columns.
If you want to divide each item by each item, i.e. price[0] / share[0], price[1] / share[0], price[2] / share[0], price[0] / share[1], etc. You would need to iterate through each item and append the result to a new list. You can do that pretty easily with a for loop, although it may take some time if you're working with a large dataset. It would look something like this if you simply want the result:
new_list = []
for p in dftest['price'].astype(float):
for s in dftest['share'].astype(float):
new_list.append(p/s)
If you want to get this in a new dataframe you can simply save it to a new dataframe using pd.Dataframe() method:
new_df = pd.Dataframe(new_list, columns=[price_divided_by_share])
This new dataframe would only have one column (the result, as mentioned above). If you want the information from the original dataframe as well, then you would do something like the following:
new_list = []
for n, a, p in zip(dftest['name'], dftest['age'], dftest['price'].astype(float):
for s in dftest['share'].astype(float):
new_list.append([n, a, p, s, p/s])
new_df = pd.Dataframe(new_list, columns=[name, age, price, share, price_div_by_share])
If you check the data types of your dataframe, you will realise that they are all strings/object type :
dftest.dtypes
name object
age object
price object
share object
dtype: object
first step will be to change the relevant columns to numbers - this is one way:
dftest = dftest.set_index("name").astype(float)
dftest.dtypes
age float64
price float64
share float64
dtype: object
This way you make the names a useful index, and separate it from the numeric data. This is just a suggestion; you may have other reasons to leave names as a columns - in that case, you have to individually change the data types of each column.
Once that is done, you can safely execute your code :
dftest.div(dftest.share,axis=0)
age price share
name
bob 3.333333 37.0 1.0
bobby 3.333333 37.0 1.0
bombastic 3.333333 37.0 1.0
I assume this is what you expect as your outcome. If not, you can tweak it. Main part is get your data types as numbers before computation/division can occur.
I created a form in Infopath with a rich text box field. The field is used to keep a list of usernames (first and last). I want to be able to keep a of count each entry and keep a tally. I then want to use that total # of entries to add or subtract from other fields. Is there any way to do that?
Is the rich text box field just a large string? If so you could just use python's built in split function, and either split by ("\r\n"), or (",").
Example:
u = "Bob, Michael, Jean"
x = u.split(",")
X will be a list of usernames. If you are using line breaks for each new username, then replace (",") with ("\r\n").
Now to count the items in a list you just need to iterate on the list you created with a for loop.
Example:
b = 0
u = "Bob, Michael, Jean"
x = u.split(",")
for i in x:
b += 1 // b will be the number of usernames
Say i have a csv containing exactly one column Name, here's the first few values:
Name
A
B
B
C
C
C
D
Now i wish to create a bar plot using dimple.js that displays the distribution of the Name (i.e the count of each distinct Name) but i can't find a way to do that in dimple without having the actual counts of each name. I looked up the documentation of chart.addMeasureAxis(
https://github.com/PMSI-AlignAlytics/dimple/wiki/dimple.chart#addMeasureAxis) and found that for the measure argument:
measure (Required): This should be a field name from the data. If the field contains numerical values they will be aggregated, if it contains any non-numeric values the distinct count of values will be used.
So basically what that says is it doesn't matter how many times each category occurred, dimple is just going to treat each of them as if they occurred once ??
I tried the following chart.addMeasureAxis('y', 'Name') and the result was a barplot that had each bar at value of 1 (i.e each name occurred only once).
Is there a way to achieve this without changing the data set ?
You do need something else in your data which distinguishes the rows:
e.g.
Type Name
X A
Y A
Z A
X B
Y B
A C
You could do it with:
chart.addCategoryAxis("x", "Name");
chart.addMeasureAxis("y", "Type");
or add a count in:
Name Count
A 1
A 1
A 1
B 1
B 1
C 1
Then it's just
chart.addCategoryAxis("x", "Name");
chart.addMeasureAxis("y", "Count");
But there isn't a way to do it with just the name.
Hope this helps.. First use d3.nest() to get the unique values of the dataset. then add the count of each distinct values to the newly created object.
var countData = d3.nest()
.key(function (d) {
return d["name];
})
.entries(yourDate);
countData.forEach(function (c) {
c.count = c.values.length;
});
after this created the dimple chart from the new "countData Object"
var myChart = new dimple.chart(svg, countData);
Then for 'x' and 'y' axis,
myChart.addCategoryAxis("x", "key");
myChart.addMeasureAxis("y", "count");
Please look in to d3.nest() to understand the "countData" object.
