[R] building transformation macro

[davv.vikas]

Hi All,

I am writing a macro which perform following functionality
1) take a file say excel or csv
2)read all the labels
3) dynamically genrate square,square-root,log  of each column with
appropiate column name and write it to a new file,

i am stuck at dynamically genrateing the column names like Revenue_square
etc.

Exmaple " i have a excel with 3 columns Revenue, cost & profit
Now my Macro should be able to  read the values and for each coulmn and
perform square,square root and log of   Revenue, cost & profit and write to
excel with column names as Revenue_square,Revenue_squareroot, Revenue_log
cost_square etc...

Below is my code

test$Rev_square = test[c(1)]^2


data=read.delim2("//ARLMSAN01/CTRX_Data/vikasK.sharma/Desktop/balancesheet_example.csv",header=T,sep=",")

headings = names(data)
 show (headings)
HEADINGS = toupper(headings)

for ( i in 1:length(HEADINGS))
{
show(i)
data$Rev_square=data[c(i)]^2
    


show(data$Rev_square)
names(data)
}
