3. Highlight the new table containing the data that you want to transfer to the original table.
4. (Optional) If you do not want JMP to replace the values in the original table with any missing values
found in the new table, select the box next to Ignore missing. The original table retains its original
values if they correspond to missing values in the new table.
5. If the two tables have one or more columns whose values uniquely describe each row, JMP uses those
columns as the match column values. That is, JMP updates the rows whose match column values
coincide. JMP uses these columns to preserve the sorted order of the data. If your tables do not have
matching column values, you can incorporate the updated values according to their row order by
continuing here. To proceed with tables containing matching column values, see “To update a table
using matching columns:” on page 199.
6. From the Add Columns from Update table area, select an option. Using these options, you can add
columns (that do not exist) from the new table into the original table.
– Choose All to add all columns from the new table into the original table.
– Choose Selected to add only columns that you have selected from the new table into the original
table.
– Choose None if you do not want to add any non-existent columns from the new table into the
original table.
7. Click OK.
To update a table using matching columns:
1. Follow the first three steps outlined in the previous section, “To replace values in the active table with
those found in another open table:” on page 198.
2. Select Match columns.
