Re: Read and count

Show all headers | View raw

Thank you very much for the help.

First I want count by city and year. 
City year count
Xc1.    2001.  1
Xc1.    2002.  3
Yv1.     2001.  1
Yv2.    2002.  4
This worked fine !

Now I want to count by city only
City. Count
Xc1.   4
Yv2.  5

Then combine these two objects with the original data and send it to a file called  "detout" with these columns:

"City", " year ", "x ", "cycount ", "citycount"

Many thanks again






This worked fine. I tried to count only by city  and combine the three objects together 

City
Xc1  4
Yv2  5
