Thomas CHANCELIER
Posted 10 years ago

Hello,

I try to find the minimum and maximum of a .xls file and have those values ??as extremum for a legend ListPlot3D .

When i import my file, I get this :

data = Import["myFile.xls"]
{{{"-28.58", "-26.67", "-26.89", "-26.46", "-26.46", "-26.04", "-25.82", "-25.19", "-24.97", "-24.97", "-34.53", "-37.29", "-40.47", "-40.90", "-40.05", "-38.99", "-38.77", "-38.56", "-38.77", "-38.99"},

But with Min[data] I have this :

Min[Flatten[data]]
POSTED BY: Imran Khan

same thing :/
POSTED BY: Thomas CHANCELIER

... well, as one can see your imported data are all strings! Before any calculations can be done they have to be converted (using ToExpression):

txtData = { - your imported data - };
data = ToExpression[txtData];
MinMax[data]

Regards Henrik
POSTED BY: Henrik Schachner

Depending on Mathematica version 

   data = {{{"your data"}}};
    Max[ToExpression[data]]
    -24.34
    Min[ToExpression[data]]
    -56.82
Head[data[[1, 1, 1]]]
String

But this may not work in all instances as we don't know content of different xls files you may Import in the future.

Works well thank you ! But how do the limits of the legend ? It doesn't appear : /

graph3D = ListPlot3D[data = Import["myFile.xls"], ColorFunction -> "Rainbow", PlotLabel -> "3D", PlotLegends -> BarLegend[{"Rainbow", {Min[ToExpression[data]], Max[ToExpression[data]]}}]]
POSTED BY: Thomas CHANCELIER

Things are much simpler! For the BarLegend you do not even need Min and Max, try:

txtData = { - your imported textdata - };
data = ToExpression[First@txtData];
graph3D = 
 ListPlot3D[data, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow", PlotLabel -> "3D", 
  PlotLegends -> Automatic]
