Hi FME fans,   Does anyone know if it is possible to create a histogram for a raster in FME?  This would be similar to the 'calculate statistics' arcgis tool.  I am using the file geodatabase raster writer.  Thanks,   Owen

Folks,Pardon my nomenclature, I suspect that's part of my problem.I've been adding Mapinfo Readers as I've needed certain tables to be converted to CAD. That's left me with a list of 10 separate readers in the navigator.Previously when I did something similar for MI > GML I just added ALL THE TABLES in a single Reader as a group.Changing data sets is snap you just open the new set.With the individually added one-reader-per-table I need to go into each Reader and open the corresponding table.Is there a way to "group" these readers so I can open the referenced tab files as a set?

I have an example of something I can do in Excel but looking to do in FME. Please refer to the PDF attachment....The first image shows a snapshot of a fictional table of data. Each employee has a unique "EmployeeNumber" and also a unique "CardNumber". The field called "Event" shows a record of every instance over a week, where an employee has either "swiped in" their card to enter an office building, or has "swiped out" to leave. So for example, Hannah has used her card 5 times in the week to either enter (swipe in) or leave (swipe out) the office.The second image shows a pivot table in Excel, which sums the number of times an employee has either swiped in or swiped out. I have then added the field called "Difference" as I simply wish to compare the number of times an employee has swiped in compared to when they have swiped out. And I am especially interested where the difference is 1 or more.My query is this ; can FME replica

Howdy y’all!XML newbie here and I have to build a workspace to parse a xml file. I’ve been messing around with the xml reader a bit this morning and cannot seem to get any results. One of the things I noticed immediately is that the field names seem to be only contained in the metadata. Can someone out there maybe show me how to parse these data and write them to something more favorable (excel, shapefile, geodatabase etc)?Here’s a link to the xml file I’m trying to translate - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B52_Im1hHfSbOWM2cnA0NDAxdGcThanks in advance for any/all help.

Hi all, I am new to FME.Which transformers should I use to solve the following problem ?[1] The input Excel file has 3 worksheets, each with 4 columns (1 primary, 3 secondary).[2] The output Excel file should have 1 worksheet for each secondary column, and the data should be labelled by input worksheet name.[3] What if there are a few hundred secondary columns in each worksheet in the input Excel file ?In other words, "transform feature types to attributes".I was trying to use AttributeManager but did not know how to get hold of the name of the feature type.Thank you.* Input Excel file :* Expected Excel file :

Hi ,I am trying to convert an access file to gml. I have an attribute in an access table that is of URL data type (with a value: www.test.com).

Then, in the produced GML, it appears like this: #www.test.com# Could you please let me know how I could avoid these # (hashtags)?Thanks you in advance, Valantis

Has something changed within the JP2 reader between FME2014 SP4, and FME2017? I'm using a simple workbench to convert from JP2 to Geotiff, which worked fine in 2014. I'm getting a message in 2017 that I do not get in 2014, "JPEG2000 reader: Mercator projection should not define both StdParallel1 and ScaleatNatOrigin. Using StdParallel1 and ignoring ScaleatNatOrigin." The resulting geotiff does not seem to retain the coordinate system.
