Hello,
I do not have experience in Origin, so I hope I can explain my problem:
I want to extract data from a worksheet. Column A is the time, column B a measurement value, and column C the status of the measurement equipment.
The task is: If the value in column C changes to 50, look at the time in column B (lets say for instance its 321.3). Search in column B for the closest value to "two seconds later" (321.3 + 2 = 323.3) and extract the row (columns A and B) into a second worksheet.
Up to now, two measurements, i.e. one row, were apart exactly 0.1 seconds. So when the value in C became 50, I just extracted the row 20 rows below (because 20 rows later equals 2 seconds). I did this with the "extract data from worksheet" dialog.
Now the measurement frequency is not constant anymore, i.e. sometimes it takes 0.1 seconds, sometimes 0.3 seconds between to measurements, so I cant use the number of rows to search for the value 2 seconds later.
Moreover, this means that sometimes I do not have a datapoint exactly two seconds later, but 1.8 seconds or 2.1 seconds. So I have to find the closest value to 2 seconds.
Thank you for your Help!

Hi,
Worksheet Query dialog is still available for this:
1. Select Worksheet: Worksheet Query from menu to open Worksheet Query dialog box
2. Select Scripts: Edit from the dialog menu
3. Type the scripts inside the Script Before If Condition box:
if(col(C)[i]== 50)
{
dd = col(B)[i]
}
4. Click OK button
5. Select Column(B) in the left panel and then click => button to make this column available in Select Column Variables for If Test panel for constructing the condition.
6. Enter the following condition formula in the Condition box:
abs(col(B)-(dd + 2)) == min(abs(col(B)-(dd + 2)))
7. Select Extract to New Worksheet in the Output item
8. Click OKbutton
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Yuki

Thank you Yuki!
I think this is exactly what I have searched for. I will try your idea tomorrow on a new measurement.
Have a nice day
Best regards
