Creating a Look-Up Table

A look-up table defines a set of key/value pairs. You can transform your project data according to a predefined look-up data.

Procedure

  1. From the Settings menu, click Look-up tables.
  2. In the "Look-up tables" dialog , click Add a new table.
  3. Optional: To rename the table to be created, move your mouse pointer over Look-up table N, and click Rename to enter a table name.
  4. Select a way to create the look-up table:
    • Manual input: manually add key/value pairs to the look-up table that you want to create.

      Type a key in the Key field and a value in the Value field, and then click Add to list. Repeat this operation to add more keys and values to the table.

    • Import from file: import a look-up table from a CSV file.

      By default, UTF-8 is used to encode data. If you want to use another encoding method, click Character encoding to change. Click Choose file to select the file that contains key/value pairs that you want to add to the look-up table. Next, click Add to list.

      Note: The data in the selected file must be in the key/value format.
    • Import from project: import a look-up table from a project.

      Select a dataset and project, and then select a key column and a value column from the project. Next, click Add to list to load the source to the table.

  5. Click Save.

Result

The created look-up table is displayed in the "Look-up tables" dialog. You can move your mouse pointer over a look-up table to edit, export, or delete the table.
