How to set a conditional decide if a label is = to a value in a global table

Hi FlexSim team,

I would like to set a conditional decide in the case that the label value match with the value of a global table depending on the "model" label.

I place this in the conditional decide:
token.Pieza.TimesProcessed == Table("GlobalTable3").getValueByKey(token.Model,"TimesProcessed",1)

Could you tell me where is the mistake?

Thank you,

Luis

Table.getValueByKey() is meant to find a value in a column, not a row header. In your case, you can just use:

token.Pieza.TimesProcessed == Table("GlobalTable3")["F"][1]

Hi Jordan,

Actually I would like to find a value in a column. I mean, for example if the "TimesProcessed" label value is = 1 just on exit processor and in the specifications (Global Table) shows that must be processed 2 times, then returns a false value (1 ≠ 2) and then go back again to the process.

I think this is not what I am looking for:

token.Pieza.TimesProcessed == Table("GlobalTable3")["F"][1]

Thank you!

In the other hand I have different models with different specifications:

How could I find from the global table and if it match with the label then returns a TRUE value.

Any value different casted into an integer 0 is interpreted as true.

1, 2, 7, 2037 and so on is true if a function returns it as a result. If you try to find in a condition the a value of a matching key value and you get as possible return values a number different to 0 than this value is a true.

In your case you try to find a value of token.Model in Column TimesProcessed to retrieve all matching Values of Column TimesProcessed. This means if you try to find Token.Model value is 2 you get an array [2,2,2,2,2]. Now you want to compare it equally to token.Pieza.TimesProcessed. It would be easier to compare

token.Pieza.TimesProcessed == token.Model. If you want to get a different answer, can you tell us more about the values of label token.Pieza.TimesProcessed ? Thanks!

I think Jordan was just trying to express that you can use the row header to access the correct row directly and used "F" as an example. In general, the row header is given by your "Model" label, so the expression you are looking for is

token.Pieza.TimesProcessed == Table("GlobalTable3")[token.Model][1]

Thank you so much Jordan, Joerg and Felix.
This works as I was looking for:

token.Pieza.TimesProcessed == Table("GlobalTable3")[token.Model][1]

Have a great day,
Luis
