When using the function, it only works when the categories are the exact same. When you transform numeric variables into categorical, the categories will not necessarily match across the variables, so the script won’t work.

It should be possible to set up a built-in script that can handle numeric range nets and can be applied to multiple questions at once.

A custom QScript was provided to the user but perhaps it can be generalized into a more useful script for many customers.

A user has combined categories in a table and wishes to copy these nets to other tables even if the categories are different. We only have a rule for copying dimension reduction when the categories are exactly the same: [https://wiki.q-researchsoftware.com/wiki/Modify_Data_-_Use_Question_as_Template_for_Modifying_Other_Questions|https://wiki.q-researchsoftware.com/wiki/Modify_Data_-_Use_Question_as_Template_for_Modifying_Other_Questions|smart-link]

A customer has numerous numeric variables that he has converted to categorical. He wants to merge categories the same way for all tables so he can also have an average.

He can’t use the function because the categories to combine are not consistent. The user would like a way to be able to achieve the same as if these were consistent categorical variables.
