Select Points in Plots
Note: Columns whose names begin with a tilde (~), such as ~Bias, are not applicable to the analysis that
you ran and do not appear in the table, even if you place checks next to their names.
Sort by Column
Sorts the columns in descending or ascending order by the selected column.
Make into Data Table
creates a JMP data table from the report table.
Make Combined Data Table searches the report for other tables like the one you selected and combines
them into a single data table.
Make Into Matrix

creates a JMP matrix from a report table. See “Turn a Report Table Into a Matrix” on
Bootstrap approximates the sampling distribution of a statistic. For more information, see Basic Analysis
and Graphing.
Turn a Report Table Into a Matrix
You can create a JMP matrix from a report table. For example, when working with JMP Scripting Language
(JSL), you might want to access a report’s table that has been stored into a JSL variable. Or, you might want
to store a report table’s values into a table property as either a table property or as a JSL assignment, which is
stored within the data table and is accessible via a script or the Formula Editor.
To store a table in matrix form into a global variable, into a table property, or into a table property as an
assignment:
1. Right-click anywhere in a report table.
2. Select Make into Matrix.
3. In the window that appears, tell JMP how you want to store the table.
4. (Optional) Rename the variable or property by typing a new name into the box beside Name.
Select Points in Plots
To select a point in a plot, click the point with the arrow cursor. This selects the point as well as the
corresponding row in the current data table. To select multiple points, hold down the SHIFT key while you
select points. A point’s label appears when you place the cursor over the point with or without clicking.
Select Rows and Columns in Plots, Charts, and Graphs
All graphs and plots that represent the same data table are linked to each other and to the corresponding
data table. When you click points in plots or bars of a graph, the corresponding rows highlight in the data
table. The example in Figure 9.14 shows a histogram with the SPEEDYTYPE bar highlighted, and the
corresponding rows highlighted in the table. You can also extend the selection of bars in a histogram by
holding down the SHIFT key and then making your selection.
