Concatenate Data Tables
2. Highlight the names of the data tables that you would like to combine, and click Add.
You can concatenate as many data tables as you choose, and you can also add the same data tables
multiple times. The number of rows in the new data tables is the sum of the number of rows in all the
data tables.
3. (Optional) Click the Save and evaluate formulas choice to request that JMP include all formulas.
If you do not select this option, no formulas are included in the new data table.
Note: If columns with the same name have different formulas, then the formula from the first data table is
saved in the concatenated data table.
4. (Optional) Click the Create source column choice to add a column called Source Table to the new
data table.
This column identifies the name of the source data table in the corresponding rows.
5. (Optional) Select the Append to first table choice to append rows to the data table listed first in the
Data Tables to be Concatenated field instead of creating a new data table.
6. (Optional) Type a name for the new data table in the Output table name field.
If you do not type a name, JMP names the data table Untitledx (for example, Untitled1). The Output
table name field is not available if you selected the Append to first table choice.
7. Click OK.
Example of Concatenating Data Tables
Suppose you want to concatenate two data tables (Trial1 and Trial2) into a new data table.
1. Open the Trial1.jmp and Trial2.jmp sample data tables.
2. From the Trial1.jmp table, select Tables > Concatenate.
3. In the Opened Data Table list, select Trial2 and click Add.
4. Click OK.
The data tables combine into a new concatenated table with all of the rows from the first data table followed
by all of the rows from the second data table. See Figure 6.20.
