The data table has the following characteristics:
• Column names can contain any keyboard character, including spaces, and can be up to 255 characters
long.
• The maximum length of the data table’s name depends on your computer’s operating system.
• Change the default size and font for names and values selecting File > Preferences > Fonts. (On the
Macintosh, select JMP > Preferences > Fonts.)
• Column names automatically wrap in the column name area to accommodate the column width that
you specify.
• Move column boundaries and enlarge the column to view long values. Adjust widths of all selected
columns at once by pressing the ALT key as you drag the double arrow cursor on any of the selected
column boundaries.
• The number of rows and columns in a data table is limited only by your computer’s memory.
