Specifying factors for existing elements
Sample script file: RDBTables.mrs
This example script is based on the Short Drinks sample data set. See Running the sample table scripts for information on running the example scripts.
Displaying a mean based on factors provides an example of basing a mean on the factor values stored for the elements in the metadata. This example shows you how to specify factor values in the axis specification.
hhsize{HH_1 [Factor=1],
  HH_2 [Factor=2],
  HH_3 [Factor=3],
  HH_4 [Factor=4],
  HH_5 [Factor=5],
  HH_6 [Factor=6],
  HH_7 [Factor=7],
  Mean 'Average number' mean()}
This example defines factors for the elements in the Household Size (hhsize) variable and creates a special mean element based on the factors we have defined.
Here is a table that has this axis on the side:
