Hi

I am trying to generate an attribute by text tranformation function. Below is my function:

replace(grade, "[75 - 100]", "Excellent"
 ,replace(grade, "[60 - 70]", "Very Good"
 ,replace(grade, "[40 - 50]", "Good"
 ,replace(grade, "[30 - 35]", "Poor"))))

 

I get Error: The function 'replace' must have 3 arguments but has 4.

Please assist.

    Hi,

     

    did you try Map or Replace operators? Feels like they are more suited.

     

    Cheers,

    Yes I have tried replace and map operators but they replace the values in the original attribute.

    What I want is to have the values replaced in a new attribute.

    You could Generate Copy of the original attribute first, and then Map or Replace as desired. That would let you both keep your original attribute unchanged and have the new values you want.

    Hi,

     

    alternatively you could also fix your function like this

     

    replace(
        replace(
            replace(
                replace(grade, "[30 - 35]", "Poor"),
             "[40 - 50]", "Good"),
         "[60 - 70]", "Very Good"),
     "[75 - 100]", "Excellent")
