Cross Distance in a Loop for every row vs. single loading of each excel file

Hyperrick

Hello, everyone,

I am currently in the process of optimizing processes. 

We want to calculate the cross distance and are currently cutting a file with 180 lines into 180 individual Excel files. The cutting is done by looping the file. Now we want to re-import this 180 Excel files via a loop and compare them one after the other with the reference set.

We have 180 requests and 1 reference set. Since we do not like to load the file 180 times manually into Rapidminer, we thought of a loop. Do you have any ideas?

See the process attached (sorry it's to long to post):

Hi @Hyperrick,

Why don't you use directly your initial XLS file with 180 lines with the filter example range operator inside a Loop operator ?

Check the process in attached file to understand what I mean...

In attached files, 2 fictive XLS files : 
 - a request file (with 4 examples)
 - a reference file (with one example)

Does this help ?

Regards,

Lionel
