    Posted by fav_pa on June 10, 2024 at 10:08 am

    i have this simple table:

    timestamp timeWin   
    --------------------
    1         1 2 3    
    2         1 2 4 5 
    3         3 1 1 3 5

    my goal is to modify timeWin column so that on each row, the list doesn’t contain the timestamp, i.e. get that :

    timestamp timeWin   
    --------------------
    1         2 3    
    2         1 4 5 
    3         1 1 5

    I know it’s basic but i really can’t figure it out. Thank you for your help

    This should do

    129200

    q)t:([] timestamp:1 2 3;timeWin:(1 2 3;1 2 4 5;3 1 1 3 5))

    q)update timeWin:timeWin except’timestamp from t

    timestamp timeWin

    —————–

    1 2 3

    2 1 4 5

    3 1 1 5
