Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create an incremental addition let say i have 2 columns empl_id and salary so in target i want to derive third column with cumulative salary.
I can do it by using variable, have done it using Different tool but never implemented it in snaplogic
Hence the question can we create Variable in mapper?
any help is appreciated
If you’re not finding any of the specialized snaps are fitting your use case, you could try the Script snap to implement the transformation in JavaScrip/Python/Ruby. Hope you can find something that solves your problem.

I have wrote down a script to fulfill your request, please refer to attached pipeline and screenshot.

Understood your code with the help of Google bcoz i dont know python but was able to relate it
Thank you for your reply .
but can i do the same thing with csv file?
Again thank you mann for your help
@Karan_Mhatre yes you can use file reader and csv formatter to get output similar to the Json generator I have used.
Thank you so much @tlikarish and @Anil !!
Can you give more information about where the cumulative salary column will come from? If it’s just a sum of all the salary columns and grouped by the employee id, then you could use the Aggregate snap.
Here’s an example I put together based on what I thought you were looking to do.
Feel free to download this pipeline and try it out.

Hi tlikarish,
Appreciate your reply but that does not solves my query.
Below is the data:-
employee_id,salary
10, 1000
20, 2000
30, 3000
40, 5000
Expected O/p
employee_id,salary,Cumulative salary
10, 1000,1000
20, 2000,3000
30, 3000,6000
40, 5000,11000
Hope now its clear , Also i tried to Google for variable in mapper but there was no comments or article on it.
Can we not create a variable in mapper? because these can be done in different ETL tools using variable.
The aggregate snap has a concat function that should concatenate the values instead of sum them. I think that maybe closer to what you’re trying to achieve.
You could also take a look at the Group By Field snap, but that may be too different from how you’d like to transform the data.
In regards to variable creation, there is nothing like that in the mapper. You can transform document properties using expressions and write them to new properties, but there aren’t any variables you can use.
No tlikarish, i dont think concat function will help me.
Anyways there should be a new way ,Only the problem is we have to figure it out 😀
Thank you for your help, Appreciate it.
Hi @Karan_Mhatre, @bhupender.singh
Please find the solution for the above usecase without using the script snap.

Hello Anil,
Really appreciate your effort to find a solution, But i think there is wrong calculation done for cumulative salary.
Can you please check your logic again , please refer to my expected o/p comment?
Thank you again for showing us a way!
Hello @Anil , I am trying to implement similar logic but i need to group by two fields instead of one unlike in the above example. Instead of only emp_id , I have two fields i need to consider, suppose product_name and product_date , and then find the cumulative sum for this combo . Can you please help me with the logic for this?
Thank you responding . Here is the input and expected output
count Date product
2 2008-01-31 ABC
1 2008-07-31 ABC
2 2009-01-31 ABC
1 2009-04-30 ABC
3 2009-07-31 ABC
3 2009-10-31 GEF
5 2010-01-31 GEF
1 2010-04-30 GEF
3 2010-07-31 GEF
output :
Sum Date product
2 2008-01-31 ABC
3 2008-07-31 ABC
5 2009-01-31 ABC
6 2009-04-30 ABC
9 2009-07-31 ABC
3 2009-10-31 GEF
8 2010-01-31 GEF
9 2010-04-30 GEF
12 2010-07-31 GEF

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your reply.
Even if I concatenate , the issue here would be that it would generate a cumulative sum for all the records while I want to get the cumulative sum grouped by each product. In the above solution , the ruuid is same for all the records while i need a new ruuid for each group of same product records.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks ,
Preeta
Sorry should have looked at your example before replying. I see what you’re saying… I think I’d probably group all the elements into an array by the product, then use that array to build the cumulative results, and then map everything back to the original structure. Not sure if that makes sense, but let me give it a try.
