Summing a grouped field

#1

Hi,

I have this to sum up the value of the field ‘win’ for tiddlers tagged with ‘entry’:

{{{ [tag[entry]get[win]sum[]] }}}

Each tiddler also has a field for the week number.

For each week, there will be several ‘entry’ tiddlers and I’d like to have a list showing their count and the summed ‘win’ field for each week number.

eg.

Week — Entry — Win (total)
42--------- 3--------- 1
41--------- 2 -------- 3
40--------- 4 -------- 6

Hope that makes sense.

I don’t know how difficult this is to do - and thanks in advance
Jon

  • It is easy, The hardest part is clearly asking what you want, or what the big picture is.
<$list filter="[[tag[entry]each[week]get[week]sort[]]" variable=week-number>
<!-- for each week number -->

</$list>
  • Perhaps this gets you started?

Thanks for the reply.

I already have a table with a line for each week number with the contents of the win field for that line:

Week — Win
42--------- 1
42--------- 2
42--------- 4
41--------- 2
41--------- 1

But what I need to do is to have a total of the win field for the corresponding week:

Week — Win
42--------- 7
41--------- 3

Hope that’s a bit clearer.

Regards
Jon

So if I understand correctly, you can have multiple tiddlers with the same week, each with a win field and what you need is to sum the wins, grouping by each week.

How about this:

<ul>
<$list filter="[tag[entry]get[week]unique[]sort[]]" variable="week">
    <$list filter="[tag[entry]field:week<week>get[win]sum[]]" variable="sum"
        <li>''<<week>>:'' <<sum>></li>
    </$list>
</$list>
</ul>

This should first find all the unique weeks and then for each week it will sum that week’s.

Hi Maurycy,

Yes, that’s worked!

The formatting is a bit off so I’ll play around with it but the arithmetic is right.

Many thanks
Jon

Damn! I forgot something,

there is also a ‘loss’ field for each tiddler which needs to be subtracted from the ‘win’ field.

I’ll try and work it out but it would be a miracle if I come up with it!

This should work

<$list filter="[tag[entry]field:week<week>get[win]sum[]]" variable="win">
<$list filter="[tag[entry]field:week<week>get[loss]sum[]]" variable="loss">
<$list filter="[<__win__>subtract[<__loss__>]]" variable="final">
        <li> <<final>> </li>
  </$list>
  </$list>
  </$list>

Ah, thanks, but that seems to come up with zero and unfortunately I’m not proficient enough to spot what might be going wrong.

Can you please share an example tiddlywiki? You can share the html here or host it on tiddlyhost.

#10

Yes I’ll mock something up on Tiddlyhost

My answer above has some mistakes. I am working on fixing it. Please hang on.

    </$list>

Is this working for you ?

I modified @Maurycy solution using a code given by @Mark_S in this discussion

#14 


<$list filter="[tag[entry]get[week]unique[]sort[]]" variable="week">

<$set filter={{{ [tag[entry]field:week<week>get[win]sum[]] }}} name="win" >
<$set filter={{{ [tag[entry]field:week<week>get[loss]sum[]] }}} name="loss" >
<$set filter={{{ [<win>subtract<loss>] }}} name="total" >


* <$text text=<<week>> />
** <$text text=<<win>> />
** <$text text=<<loss>> />
** <$text text=<<total>> />


</$set>
</$set>
</$set>

</$list>

Total win_week.json (611 Bytes)

@Jon have a look. It shows sum and loss and their difference correctly. You will hav to fix the formatting though.

That’s works perfectly!
