Introduction

The 1010data Macro Language is the most powerful and direct way to interact with 1010data's platform.

The Macro Language consists of three different sets of operations. At the lowest level are the 1010data core operations. These operations are responsible for transforming data for analytical purposes. Another level higher, are the <block> operations, which provide programmatic functionality such as conditionals and loops. Finally, the <dynamic> and <loop> operations provide the user with the ability to build applications on top of data and give data consumers the ability to guide their analyses.

When developing queries, specific problems can arise that are not easily solved by consulting the 1010data Reference Manual or 1010data User's Guide. This Cookbook was created as a compilation of problems and solutions intended to assist 1010data users with issues that may arise when developing queries. Each recipe contains tips and best practices to solve a variety of problems including combining data sets, aggregating data, manipulating strings, cleansing data, creating QuickApps and executing analyses.

Although this book includes a variety of recipes to aid in the development of queries, it is not all inclusive. It will continue to grow and change to accommodate new solutions and new features of the system. If you have an objective that you would like to see included in this Cookbook or you have found a way to solve a specific problem, please email the code to support@1010data.com.
