Calculation - Subtract - Table(s)
This tool subtacts the numbers in one table or output from those in another. You may also choose to subtract a single number, or to subtract from a single number.
Examples
The table on the left shows the awareness results for a selection of restaurtants from September 2017, and the table on the right shows the awareness results from August 2017.
Using Subtract produces a new table which contains month-on-month differences for awareness:
Note that the NET rows have been excluded by default. You can choose whether or not to include these by changing the options.
Options
Divide the Choose whether you wish the denominator of the division to be an output containing one or more numbers, or a single value. When Output is selected, you can choose an output in your document. When Single numeric value is selected you can then type in the desired value.
by the Choose whether you wish the numerator of the division to be an output containing one or more numbers, or a single value. When Output is selected, you can choose an output in your document. When Single numeric value is selected you can then type in the desired value.
Automatically match elements Only shown when there are multiple inputs to Input. This controls how and whether matching is done between the labels of the inputs. The default, "Yes - hide unmatched", will look for matching labels in the rows and columns of the inputs before proceeding with the calculation, and any rows/columns that are not contained in all the inputs will not be included in the output. See the Example. For a full description of the matching algorithm, see the Technical Details. "Yes - show unmatched" will also perform matching, but any unmatched rows (columns) will appear in the output as rows (columns) of all missing values. Selecting "No" for this option will cause any labels in the data to be ignored and not perform any matching. Selecting "Custom" will bring up two additional controls that allow for specifying the matching behavior for rows and columns separately.
Match rows Only shown if Automatically match elements is set to "Custom". Specifies the matching behavior when comparing row labels of the inputs. "Yes - show unmatched" and "Yes - hide unmatched" look for exact matches in the row labels in the inputs. "Fuzzy - show unmatched" and "Fuzzy - hide unmatched" perform fuzzy matching so that labels that differ only by a single character are considered to be a match.
Match columns Only shown if Automatically match elements is set to "Custom". The options are the same as Match rows, but control the matching between columns.
Rows to exclude Here you can type in row labels that should be excluded from the calculation.
Columns to exclude As above, but for columns.
