FRACTION
Syntax
FRACTION(data)
Parameters
data
The numerical values to compute the fraction of. This can be a constant value, a column, a cell range, or an expression evaluating to any of the above. For the format definition of data, see the "Macro Function Parameters" section in the chapter in this guide for your IBM® Unica® product.
Description
FRACTION calculates the fractional part of the values in the specified data range. It returns one new column for each input column, each containing the fractional part of the numbers in the corresponding input column.
*
The FRACTION macro function and the TRUNCATE macro function are complementary in that they sum to the original values.
Examples
Creates a new column named TEMP containing the value 0.3.
Creates a new column named TEMP containing the value -0.9.
Creates a new column named TEMP, where each value is the fractional part of the contents of column V1.
Creates three new columns named TEMP, VX, and VY. The values in the TEMP column are the fractional parts of the contents of column V1, the values of the VX column are the fractional parts of the contents of column V2, and the values of the VY column are the fractional parts of the contents of column V3.
Creates a new column named TEMP, where the first 11 cells contain the fractional parts of the values in rows 10-20 of column V1. The other cells in TEMP are empty.
Creates two new columns named TEMP and VX, each with values in rows 1-50 (the other cells are empty). The values in column TEMP are the fractional parts of the rows of column V1, and the values in column VX are the fractional parts of the values in column V2.
