Helleo Everyone.
In latex tables, I want to set in bold font the minimum value for each line (seperately) overs some columns, the attached file gives an example in which the minimum mean value for each line is set in bold. I have about 25 tables on which I should apply such formatting. So, setting the values manually is virtually impossible. Any help please?
Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately, I disagree with Peter. Nowadays, it exists also pgfplotstable package that allows to perform computations over table cells. For example, have a look to http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/33967/13304 or http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/44868/13304
Hi, thank you everyone for contributing, this gives me good ideas.
Another idea I am working on is to do the following: put a special character (instead of colours or bold) in formatting the cells in excel (where my tables are edited before importing them), then replacing tha chracter in quastion with '\bseries' for instance in latex.
The problem now is how to do this in excel, any help would be really appreciated.
Have your each LaTeX table in a separate .tex file. Lets assume one has name original-name.tex.
Then, we can write a Java program that reads the file that contains an original LaTeX code for a table. Then, read each line of the file using FileReader & BufferReader. Parse each line using StringTokenizer, in which delimiter would be "&" (column separator). Parse each value using Integer or Double. Find out minimum or maximum (what ever you want in bold face). Replace the matching token with the LaTeX code to generate bold-face. Do it for each line and write each modified line in some other file, e.g., original-name.tex.bak. Once process is completed, rename original-name.tex.bak to original-name.tex.
To fully automate the process for each LaTeX table, we can keep all the tables, I mean .tex file, in a separate directory. Then write a Java program to repeat the above procedure for each file present in the directory that contains all LaTeX tables. It will work for 25 or even for 1000 tables.
