								### Data Transposition
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								A typical dataset in a spreadsheet will start with one header row and represent
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								each data record in its own row.  For example, the Iris dataset might look like
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							|

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								`XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json` will translate this into an array of row objects:
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var aoo = [
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  {"sepal length": 5.1, "sepal width": 3.5, ...},

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  {"sepal length": 4.9, "sepal width":   3, ...},
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  ...

								];

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								TF.js and other libraries tend to operate on individual columns, equivalent to:
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var sepal_lengths = [5.1, 4.9, ...];
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var sepal_widths  = [3.5, 3, ...];
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								When a `tensor2d` can be exported, it will look different from the spreadsheet:
							 | 
						
					
						
							
								
									
										
										
										
											2022-07-08 00:04:16 +00:00

							 | 
							
							
								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var data_set_2d = [
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  [5.1, 4.9, ...],

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  [3.5, 3, ...],

								```
							 |

							 |

								This is the transpose of how people use spreadsheets!

								#### Typed Arrays and Columns
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								A single typed array can be converted to a pure JS array with `Array.from`:
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var column = Array.from(dataset_typedarray);
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Similarly, `Float32Array.from` generates a typed array from a normal array:
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var dataset = Float32Array.from(column);
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								### Exporting Datasets to a Worksheet
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								`XLSX.utils.aoa_to_sheet` can generate a worksheet from an array of arrays.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								ML libraries typically provide APIs to pull an array of arrays, but it will

							 | 
							
								
									
										
									
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								be transposed. To export multiple data sets, manually "transpose" the data:
							 | 
						
					
						
							
								
									
										
										
										
											2022-07-08 00:04:16 +00:00
										 
									 
								 
							 |

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								/* assuming data is an array of typed arrays */
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								var aoa = [];
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								for(var i = 0; i < data.length; ++i) {
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								  for(var j = 0; j < data[i].length; ++j) {

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								    if(!aoa[j]) aoa[j] = [];

								    aoa[j][i] = data[i][j];

								arrays that can be transposed.  However, it is more efficient to walk the sheet

							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								can be used to construct TensorFlow.js tensor objects:

							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							|

								```js
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								const aoo = XLSX.utils.sheet_to_json(worksheet);

								`tf.Tensor` objects can be directly transposed using `transpose`:
