Syntax
AXCEL.PD.PETRI(data)
The AXCEL.PD.PETRI function syntax has the following arguments:
data Required. This is a table of events and should be structured in the order of record, process, resource, and timestamp as follows:
record | process | resource | timestamp |
record 1 | process x | resource y | 2012-01-02T12:23:00.000+01:00 |
… | … | … | … |
Here is an example based on patient data. You can pull this data by executing AXCEL.DATASETS(“patients-process-mining”). Considering you pulled your data in cell A1#, you need to run:
=AXCEL.PD.PETRI(A1#)
Here is the outcome:
