Use Markers
Note: Hidden points are not automatically excluded from statistical computations that affect text reports
and graphs, even though they are not displayed in the plots. To exclude hidden observations from analyses,
you must highlight them and select Rows > Exclude/Unexclude characteristic.
To exclude or hide markers (points) from analyses:
1. Highlight the marker(s) that you would like to exclude or hide.
2. Right-click anywhere in a graph.
3. Select Row Exclude or Row Hide.
Add Labels to Markers
When you position the arrow cursor over a point in a plot, the point’s label appears. By default, the label is
the row number. There are three ways that you can customize the label:
• You can change the label so it displays values found in one or more columns instead of the row number.
• You can enable the label to appear always, not just when you position the cursor over points.
• You can click the label with the Arrow tool and drag it to a new location. If a label is dragged a certain
distance away from the marker, then a tail is added connecting the label to its point.
To display values found in one or more columns instead of the row number:
1. In the data table, highlight the column(s) whose values you want to appear as the label in plots.
2. Select Label/Unlabel from one of the following places:
– the Cols menu
– the red triangle menu in the Columns panel
– the top red triangle menu in the upper left corner of the data grid
A label or yellow tag icon beside the column name in the Columns panel indicates that points on plots
are identified by the column value. If there are multiple labeled columns, their values appear on plots
separated by a comma. Data remains labeled until you highlight the column and select Label/Unlabel
again.
To enable the label to appear always, not just when you position the cursor over points:
1. Highlight the point(s) whose label you want to always appear in plots.
2. Right-click anywhere in a graph. In a histogram, right-click the box plot area on the right.
3. Select Row Label.
A label or yellow tag icon beside the row number in the data table indicates that points on plots
corresponding to the row appear with a label.
