Assign Characteristics to Rows and Columns
Assign Colors or Markers to Rows Based on Column Values
You can assign colors or markers to your data table rows based on the values found in a particular column.
For example, in a column called Sex, you could assign all rows whose value is F a red circle marker. All rows
whose value is M could have a green plus marker. These colors and markers replace the default black dot in
plots and appear next to its row number in the data table.
To assign colors or markers to rows based on column values:
1. Select Rows > Color or Mark by Column.
2. Highlight the column to assign the color or marker to. See Figure 4.24.
