Batch ID Generation

varunm1

Hello,

Is there a simple way to generate batch id (Divide samples into 5 groups) based on ID column in a dataset. For example, I have a dataset with 400 samples related to 30 subjects (Multiple samples per subject). I would like to divide the data set into 5 (this can be any value) batches based on the Subject (not samples), so each batch will have 6 subjects related data. 

I attached a sample dataset where "Subject ID" is the ID column.

hi @varunm1 ah ok took me a minute. Why not use Generate Attributes where you do something like mod([Subject_ID],5)  ?

Hello @sgenzer

Thanks for your response. Is this scalable to ID with characters like (A, B,C D,... etc)? 

I just replaced Subject ID column values to characters (Instead of 1 now its A).

Hi @varunm1

Just do Nominal to numerical before to get unique integers?

Best,

Martin

Hi Varun, 

I'm not sure to understand, but is it what you are looking for ..?

@mschmitz yep it works, I need to duplicate the column and then convert it to nominal to numerical. The reason for duplication is to trace back the ID's
