Finally, drag sex below these column tables to add the second row table. You now have Figure 8.15.
Editing Tables in Tabulate
There are several ways to edit the items you add to a table.
Changing Numeric Formats
The formats of each cell depend on the analysis column and the statistics. For counts, the default
format has no decimal digits. For each cell defined by some statistics, JMP tries to determine a
reasonable format using the format of the analysis column and the statistics requested. To override the
default format:
1 Click the Change Format button at the bottom of the Tabulate window.
2 In the window that appears (Figure 8.17), enter the field width, a comma, and then the number of
decimal places you want displayed in the table. If you would like JMP to determine the best format
for you to use, type the word Best in the text box. JMP now considers the precision of each cell
value and selects the best way to show it.
3 Click OK.
