Arithmetical functions (V6.5 – SP 0140)
Arithmetical functions are a handy new tool to view and compare information on your fme file and IQ objects. These are used in conjunction with Individual Quality Reports & Summary Functions in the “Note” of the IQ object. Below is an example of how to use this functionality, currently available to maintenance customers only.
Example: Percentage of completed actions in the current fme file
- Create a structure filter for all the actions in the fme file.
- Create a structure filter for all completed actions.
- Open “Note” (Ctrl + B) for an IQ object. In this example, a system element is used. Then use the context menu and select “Templates | Placeholder”.
- Drag & Drop the placeholder “Percent: %prct()%” on to “summary function/placeholder” in the “Destination” dialog.
- Select both of the structure filters and drag them on to “Percent: %prct()%”.
- Sort the filters so that “All completed actions” is above “All relevant actions”. This will result the correct calculation being made: Percentage = “All completed actions” / “All relevant actions * 100. Then click “OK”.
- The “Note” tab will now contain the placeholder.
- Recommended step: copy “All completed actions” and paste it above the placeholder.
- Press the F9 keyboard key to update the placeholder.
- Recommended step: save the new placeholder in either the cfg- or fme file as a template for future use.
- Name the template. That’s it, you’re finished!
