In Datameer, you can create a workbook to get to new insights with your data. Inside the workbook, you can add additional data sources, change the column and sheet names, collapse columns, apply formulas, view workbook details, and more.

...

1. Choose Workbooks from the + (plus) button or right-click in the navigation bar on the left side of the screen and select Create New > Workbook.
2. From the File menu, select Add Data.
3. Navigate to the folder where the data sources are located and select the name of the data source you want to use.
4. Click Add Data.

When using data from a sheet in another workbook or an import job, the data from that source sheet is copied to the new sheet if the new sheet is marked as kept. In previous versions, the source sheet was referenced instead, which led to workbook data not being deleted by housekeeping.

The workbook is populated with a sample of data from that data source. To use data in Datameer, that data must be part of a data source. If you have a source of data you want to use for analysis, such as an Excel spreadsheet, you need to create a data source using that data, or have a system administrator create one for you.

...

Status notifications have been added to the bottom of workbook worksheets to show if the worksheet is dispaying displaying information based on sample or full data and if the worksheet is filtered.

...

If the worksheet is displaying no information, this could be that none of the origial original sample data fits the criteria of the caculationscalculations. Running the workbook takes into account all current worksheet caculations calculations and might bring in new sample data to populate the worksheet if data from the data source meet the caculation calculation criteria.

Full data messages

If the worksheet's caculations calculations are based on the full data, the notification is green. It tells you how many sample rows are being displayed in the worksheet out of how many total records from the data source. If all the records of the source are being used, the status bar displays the total record count.

Opening Existing Workbooks

To open an existing workbook:

1. On the the File Browser tab tab, find the workbook you want to open.
2. Highlight the workbook by clicking on it.
3. Double-click to open or right-click on the highlighted workbook and select select Open.

Adding Additional Data Sources

To add additional data sources to an existing workbook:

1. From the the File menu menu, choose choose Add Data or  or click the the Add Data icon  icon on the toolbar.
2. Navigate to the folder where the data sources are located and select the name of the data source you want to use.
3. Click Click Add Data.
4. Repeat the previous steps for each data source you want to use.

For each data source you select, a tab is added to the workbook, containing a sample of data from that data source. You can add add multiple data sources at the same time by holding the SHIFT button.  

Exchanging Data Sources

 You can exchange data sources to run a workbook on a different set of similar data, which is faster than recreating the workbook.

For example, you can run a workbook on data for each month by exchanging the data source to point to the data for the next month. Each datasource must have the same structure. Further analysis applies only to the new data after the exchange. This option is only available when the current data sheet uses a data source imported by adding data. The option isn't available for sheets created using filters, joins, sorts, external datasheetsdata sheets, or formulas. You must also have write permissions for this workbook to use this option.

To exchange data sources in an existing workbook:

1. From the the File menu menu, choose choose Exchange Data or  or click the the Exchange Data icon  icon on the toolbar.
2. Navigate to the folder where the datasources are located and select the name of the data source you want to use.
3. Click Click Exchange Data.

Revert Actions

If you would like to revert an action that you performed in a workbook, you can  use the Undo and Redo buttons available in the toolbar. By default, you can undo or redo the last two actions performed on a workbook that modify the workbook state in the database. These actions don't include changes such as font style or column size, as the workbook's state remains the same. You can also access these options through the Edit menu or using keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+Shift+Z for undo, Cmd+Shift+Z for redo). If the cursor is in a text field, using the keyboard shortcut reverts only the most recent changes in the text field, not the whole workbook.

Image Removed

Administrators can adjust the settings for these buttons in default.properties and system.properties. There, admins can edit the amount of time the history of a workbook is kept, the maximum number of actions a a user can revert, and how many workbooks can retain a history at the same time.

To make sure this functionality isn't causing performance issues, you can check various statistics about the memory usage and workbook states in <Datameer>/logs/workbook_undo.log. The log is set to record the following values separated by comma:

 absoluteMemoryConsumption,absoluteMemoryUsageInBytes,generalMemoryUsage,historiesInUse,historyStatesInMemory,maxMemory,relativeUsageInPercent,usedMemory,usersWorking,workbooksInUse

You can create formulas on worksheets that are editable. When you click the data area of a column that has a formula associated with it, the formula displays above the workbook in the Fx bar. You can also create a new sheet and create formulas that reference fields from other sheets. Click the Fx button on the formula line to display the formula builder. (As of Datameer 7.2, the formula builder is located in the worksheet inspector.)

To create a formula using the Formula Builder:

1. Click the Fx button on the formula line to access the formula builder.
2. Select the categories in the left column to choose the type of function.
3. Choose a function from the list on the right.

Splitting columns

Datameer 7.5 includes the option to split workbook string and list type column content by a selected delimiter. Several optional additional controls are available. Resulting column names are the original column name with a sequential number appended. For list columns, commas are the only delimiter and there will be one column per comma up to the column limit.

The split column operation can be updated as many times as you like until you have desired split configuration.

To split a column:

• (Strings only) Use Skip Trailing to enter the number of characters that will be ignored after the specified number of columns are split.
• Use Skip first to ignore the first x number of elements, where elements are the characters between delimiters.
• Use Split into to specify a fixed number of columns into which data will be split.
• (JSON array only) When Catch additional data in overflow column is checked, if the number of original elements exceeds the number of specified output columns, the remaining elements will be kept and grouped into one column, in brackets.
  
• Use Drop additional elements to ignore all elements past the specified output columns. 
• (Strings only) Use Trim Whitespace to delete any leading or trailing spaces and line breaks.
  
• (Strings only) Use Define Empty Value to specify what is substituted in if no existing data is split into the last columns (i.e. when the amount of data is smaller than the column limit.)
