Data Menu

The Data menu provides access to the data worksheet and to summary statistics windows, and provides commands for importing and exporting data files and manipulating data within the worksheet.

•      Worksheet – display the data worksheet window.

•      Assign Column – assign a variate to a data sheet column.

•      Sort – sort the highlighted column; the sort alternates between ascending and descending order.

•      Change Decimals – increase or decrease the number of decimal places to show in a particular column; this has no effect on calculations. The cursor must be in an active worksheet window.

•      Insert – insert a row or column into the active worksheet at the cursor position.

•      Delete – delete the row or column that the cursor is on in the active worksheet.

•      Import Data – import a data file into the active worksheet; the data file can be either a binary or text file.

•      Export Data – export the contents of either the active worksheet or the active data arrays to a text file. The active data arrays are the non-missing data in the ID, X-Coordinate, Y-Coordinate, and Z-data columns of the Data Worksheet window. If the Z data have been transformed (using a transformation command), the transformed z values will be printed in addition to the original z values in the Data Worksheet.

•      List Graph Values – display the graphed data. This command will be dimmed unless the active window contains a graph. You can also access this command by right-clicking on a graph. Data underlying maps can be displayed from the Map menu only from the map windows.

•      Summary Statistics – display basic statistics for the primary variate (Z) and covariate (Z2) if defined.

•      Primary Variate (Z)

•      Secondary Variate (Z2)

•      Cross Variate Regression (Z vs. Z2)

•      Frequency Distribution – display frequency distributions for the primary variate (Z) and covariate (Z2) if defined.

•      Quantiles Posting – display a posting (map) for the primary variate (Z) and covariate (Z2) if defined.
