Adding spans

  • Updated
Follow

Adds Spans (i.e., sub-headings) to the headers in a table. Note that this does not change the data reduction of the underlying variable set - whereas if modifying a table by selecting headings, right-clicking and selecting Create Span the change would be made wherever the variable set is used.

 

Technical detail

Add column spans

// Span the Coke brands in the columns to create a span of "Coke Brands"
table.spanColumns([table.columnIndex('Coca Cola'),
                   table.columnIndex('Diet Coke'),
                   table.columnIndex('Coke Zero')],
                  'Coke Brands');

// Span the Pepsi brands in the columns to create a span of "Pepsi Brands"
table.spanColumns([table.columnIndex('Pepsi Light'),
                   table.columnIndex('Pepsi Max'),
                   table.columnIndex('Pepsi')],
                  'Pepsi Brands');

Add row spans

// Span the Coke brands in the rows to create a span of "Coke Brands"
table.spanRows([table.rowIndex('Coca-Cola'),
table.rowIndex('Diet Coke'),
table.rowIndex('Coke Zero')],
'Coke Brands');

// Span the Pepsi brands in the columns to create a span of "Pepsi Brands"
