To use the data from a column in the original table as the
column names in the new table:
1. Highlight a column from the Select Columns box on
the left.
2. Click Label. The column name appears in the Label
box.
The default column name is name. You can specify an
alternative name for the column using the Label column
name option. Only one column is created for each distinct
value in the label column. Therefore, if there are duplicate
values in the label column, JMP creates only one column for
the duplicated value using the value from the last duplicated
row.
To organize the transposed columns into groups based on the
columns that you put into the By box:
Table 6.6 describes the rules that apply to transposing.
Table 6.6 Rules for Transposing
1. Highlight the column name(s) in the Select Columns
box whose values you want to see as a group.
2. Click By.
If
The original table has

column and it is assigned to
Label
The original table has
multiple columns and
contains a label column
There is no label column in
the original table
Then
The new table contains one column that lists those column names.
Its values become the column names in the transposed table.
JMP automatically inserts the label column into the Label box when the
window appears. You can remove this column if you do not want it to
appear.
The column names in the transposed table are Row 1, Row 2, …, Row n
where n is the number of rows in the original table.
