Use of macros as global variables

Himanshu_Pant

Lets say I have used two macros-> macroA and macroB. I want to add a condition: If a value of a column (from a dataset)  is greater than 5, increment macroA  by 1 and if it is less than 5 increment macroB  by 1. 
Is it possible? if yes, then how. Please help.

Hi @Himanshu_Pant ,

I am a bit confused here. Isnt macroA the cumsum of ColumnA? Not sure how you then calculate macroB from there?
Likely this is not a job for macros anyway? Please check the attached process for the cumsum.

Best,

Martin

Hi @Himanshu_Pant ,

yes it is. You first extract the value of the column using Extract Macro and then you can use Generate Macro to do the conditional increment.

Best,

Martin

I want to keep adding the value:
lets say I have a column
Column A
0
1
0
1
1
1

I want the output

macroA	macroB
0	1
1	1
1	2
2	2
3	2
4	2
