Using JMP - SAS

Chapter 8 Summarize Data 247
Tabulate Data
Columns by Categories Choose Columns by Categories if the columns are independent grouping
columns (in other words, no hierarchical nesting) sharing a similar set of distinct data values, and if you
want a cross tabulation of the column by the categories layout.
Grouping Columns for Separate Tables Choose Grouping Columns for Separate Tables if you have
multiple independent grouping columns and you want to generate separate tables for each grouping
column.
Insert a Grouping Column
To insert a grouping column, click and drag, and then release a column name or statistics keyword into the
table. Select Add Grouping Columns from the menu that appears, as shown in Figure 8.13. If adding it as a
grouping column is the only logical choice, JMP automatically inserts it as a grouping column; the popup
menu does not appear.
Figure 8.13 Example of Adding a Grouping Column
Insert an Analysis Column
To insert an analysis column, click and drag, and then release a column name or statistics keyword into the
table. Select Add Analysis Columns from the menu that appears, as shown in Figure 8.13.
Use the Dialog
If you prefer not to click and drag and build the table interactively, you can create a simple table using the
Dialog interface. After selecting Tables > Tabulate, select Dialog from the drop-down menu beside Build
table using, as shown in Figure 8.14. The window that appears is very similar to the Summary window, and
the resultant table is like the layout of the summary table. (See “Summarize Columns” on page 233.) You can
change the table generated by the window in the same way that you would with one generated through drag
and drop.
