Data Filter Options
Hierarchical
The red triangle menu next to Data Filter contains options such as Animation, Show Subset, and so on.
Data that consists of subcategories within categories is considered hierarchical data. For example,
geographical regions might contain states. By selecting the Hierarchical red triangle option, you can filter
regions so that only the states in that region appear in the second filtered list. This feature provides a quick
view of subcategories in the Data Filter window.
Example of Filtering Data Hierarchically
1. Open the CrimeData.jmp sample data table.
2. Select Rows > Data Filter.
3. In the Data Filter window, select Region and State, and then click Add.
The Data Filter window appears with a Region list and a State list.
4. Select Hierarchical from the Data Filter red triangle menu.
5. Select Midwest in the Region list.
The Midwest regions are selected in the data table. In the Data Filter window, only midwestern states
appear in the State list (Figure 9.12).
