Import Data Using the Excel Add-In
Note: During the JMP installation, select the Excel Add-In. This installs the add-in for your version of
Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Excel 2003, Microsoft Excel 2007, and Microsoft Excel 2010 are supported.
Transfer Excel Data to a JMP Data Table
To transfer data from Excel to a JMP data table:
1. In your Excel worksheet, show the JMP add-in on the ribbon. (For Excel 2003, this is not necessary,
since the add-in is on the toolbar.)
2. Click the Preferences button.
3. Enter the name for the new JMP data table.
4. To use one or more rows of Excel data as JMP columns names, select the Use First Rows as Column
Name option and enter the number of rows to use.
The cells that contain column names do not have to be the first rows in the spreadsheet. They need only
be the first rows in the group of cells that you select to transfer to JMP.
5. Click OK.
6. Select the cells to transfer into JMP, including any cells that you want to use as column names.
If you are using cells as column names, they need to be the first rows in your selection.
If only one cell (or no cell) is selected, the entire Excel sheet is transferred to JMP.
7. Click Data Table (Excel 2007 and Excel 2010) or click Transfer to JMP (Excel 2003).
If JMP is not running, it is started, and the selected data is placed in a new JMP data table.
Note: Empty cells are brought in as missing data, and dates, numbers, and strings are recognized correctly.
8. (Optional) Click Graph Builder or Distribution to both transfer the data to JMP and to launch either
the Graph Builder or Distribution platform.
Note: Your JMP windows might be hidden behind your Excel window, especially if you maximize Excel.
For more information about using Graph Builder and Distribution, see the Basic Analysis and Graphing
book.
Uninstall the Excel Add-In
1. Open the Windows Add or Remove Programs utility (in the Control Panel).
2. Select JMP Profiler Core and click Uninstall.
3. Select JMP Profiler GUI and click Uninstall.
