3Entering Data
Make Subset
The Make Subset command performs similarly to Tables > Subset, but does not offer a
window with subsetting options. When you choose Make Subset, JMP creates a new table with
the selected columns in the active data table and the rows identified by the Data Filter. This is
true even if you have manually selected additional rows or columns in the data table.
Script
The Script command performs the same as in other platforms. You can save the script, called
Data Filter, to the data table, to a script window, to a journal, or copy it to the clipboard. The
script opens the Data Filter window and lists all the variables you specified. This is particularly
valuable for saving specifications of a complex subset of data. When you run the script, the Data
Filter appears with the variables you selected with the selections you made.
Save WHERE Clause
Once you have identified the filter variable values to use, that information can be expressed as a JMP
WHERE clause. The WHERE clause is used in JSL (JMP Scripting Language) programs to identify specific
rows of data for processing or analysis. The Data Filter builds a WHERE clause based on the value
selections you make. Figure 3.71 shows the options available in the Data Filter for saving a WHERE
clause. and the WHERE clause that describes the values shown.
Clipboard creates a WHERE clause from the filter criteria and puts it on the clipboard.
Row State Column creates a row state column in the data table that has a formula equivalent to
the filter criteria.
Data Table creates a WHERE clause from the filter criteria and saves it as a JSL command with the
current data table in a table property called Filter.
Script Window creates a WHERE clause from the filter criteria and appends it to the current script
text window, or creates a new script if one does not exist already.
Journal creates the WHERE clause from the filter criteria and appends it to the current journal, or
creates a new journal if one doesn’t already exist.
