for completeness, added an example that uses nested association syntax
Apr 10, 2016 at 18:56 comment added WReach @HyperGroups When a key name is not a valid symbol we can write, for example, #["col_name"].
Apr 10, 2016 at 4:52 comment added HyperGroups Hhi, Sometimes, one cannot use #col1, for example, col1_name, Is there simpler method to do such a thing? like pandas dataframe?col3=dataSetFinal["col1"]/dataSetFinal["col2"]
Jul 4, 2015 at 19:17 comment added Murta @TaliesinBeynon I´m studying R data.table, and now I understand why they are so popular. These kind of operations are much simpler to be performed. In data.table syntax, add a new column would be as simpler as: ds[, col3 := col1+col2], and the values would be changed by reference. No need to do ds = ds[, col3 := col1+col2]. Here is a data.table sheet if nice ideas I miss in Dataset
May 21, 2015 at 15:12 comment added Taliesin Beynon @Szabolcs this requires kernel hooks that I haven't had enough time to actually implement. It is still planned, though not for 10.2.
May 19, 2015 at 12:03 comment added Szabolcs @TaliesinBeynon This does not yet work in v10.1. Is it still planned?
Jul 12, 2014 at 7:59 comment added Taliesin Beynon @WReach, that's a great answer. Eventually, though, you should be able to write dataset[[All, "foo"]] = {...} and have that just work (as long as the list is the right length).
