Hiding Rows and Columns
You can mark rows and columns so they will be hidden in plots and graphs.
• You suppress (hide) rows and columns so they are included in analyses but do not appear in plots
and graphs.
• To exclude hidden observations from analyses, you must also assign them the Exclude/Unexclude
characteristic.(“Excluding Rows and Columns,” p. 131.)
• A mask icon ( ) appears beside the hidden row number or the column name, indicating that the
row or column is hidden.
• Data remain hidden until you select Hide/Unhide again. This menu option is a toggle. Selecting
Hide/Unhide once sets the highlighted rows or columns to be hidden. Highlighting hidden rows or
columns and selecting Hide/Unhide again turns the option off so that the rows or columns are
shown.
