Cut, Copy, and Paste
You can cut or copy any expression or an entire formula and paste it into another formula display. Use the
cut, copy, and paste shortcut commands or right-click a highlighted part of the formula and select Cut,
Copy, or Paste from the menu. The following aspects apply when you cut, copy, and paste a formula:
• When you paste it into another formula display, the formula appears in formatted form.
• The formula is saved on the clipboard as a JSL statement. Thus, if you copy it into other applications, it
appears as a JMP Scripting Language (JSL) statement.
Note: Press the SHIFT key on your keyboard, and then click the red triangle to reveal a command called
Copy As SAS Formula.
Click and Drag
You can drag any part of a formula that can be selected to any other location that can be selected.
To click and drag:
1. Place the arrow cursor inside an expression.
2. Click the expression. It is highlighted and the cursor changes to a hand cursor.
3. Drag across the formula. Destination expressions are highlighted.
4. Drag the selected expression to the new desired location. The selected expression is copied to the new
location, where it replaces the existing expression.
Customize Formulas
There are several ways that you can customize formulas in the Formula Editor. The following sections
