Origin Ver Origin Pro 2022. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Windows
Hi there,
I have two columns of data, the first column is data in the format of DD/MM/YYYY, and the second column is the water content for the corresponding date. How can I ask Origin to produce the third column showing the monthly average water content?
Thank you |

You can use Analysis: Data Manipulation: Reduce by Group and set the sugroup method by X increment and set increment to 1month.
Also set Merge X by and Merge Y by average.
Thanks, Snow

Hi Snow, thank you for your answer.
However, it turns out that there is no option for me to set increment to 1 month. Please see the attached pic.
Thank you.

The input field is blank in your dialog.
Please
1. Double click X column and make sure it's set as Date
2. Select XY column and then choose the menu will auto fill the input field.
3. Then you should be able to enter incrment like 7 days, 1 year, 1 month, etc. as X increment.
Please note that the output are two columns, 1 for X and one for Y.
I choose to use subgroup beginning as merged X so it shows 1/1/2023, 2/1/2023.
If u really want to see 1, 2, 3, ... u can
1. add another column and set F(x) formula as month(C) to calculate month part of column C as the image above. If u set column E as X and select E and D to plot, it will plot D against E(X).
2. double click column C. in column properties set the Display as Custom Display. And set Custom Display as M, which will show it as 1, 2, 3 but internally it's still 1/1/2023, ...
Thanks, Snow |

Thank you, Snow. It worked, but not entirely.
I chose to use the subgroup beginning as merged X as you did.
D(x3) should be 01/06/2022, 01/07/2022...like yours, right?
Thank you.

Sorry for this.
This is a bug fixed in Origin 2023b released in late April.
https://www.originlab.com/ReleaseNotes/detail.aspx?id=2023b1ORG-25670
Before Origin 2023b, it uses hard coded 365 days for 1 year and 31 days for 1 month.
Could you check if your maintenance is valid for Origin 2023b upgrade.
One workaround in your version will be create a new column with F(X) as month(B) to extract month part.
Then select Worksheet: Remove/Combine Duplicated Rows and use the calculated month column as reference column, and merge data by average.
U set output to New sheet so original sheet still kept.
Or select column C do statistics: Descriptive statistics and set the calculated month column as Group. Set quantities to only output average.
Thanks, Snow |

See first image in my reply.
Use Month( ) function in F(X) to extract month from a column.
Thanks, Snow |
