The buttons on the Tables page can help you analyze data in several ways:
Summary Creates a summary table, which summarizes columns from the active data table, called
its source table. The summary table has a single row for each level of a grouping variable you
specify. Also, you can add columns of summary statistics to this table and request summary
statistics.
Tabulate Creates a tabulated table from the active data table. It calculates, sorts, and displays
totals and subtotals for you in a report format, rather than in a data table.
Subset Creates a new data table formed by the selected rows and columns or by a random sample
in the active data table.
Sort Sorts a data table by one or more columns.
Stack Creates a new data table from the active table by stacking specified columns into a single
column.
Split Creates a new data table from the active table by dividing one or more columns to form
multiple columns.
Transpose Creates a new data table that has the columns of the active table as its rows and the
rows of the active table as its columns.
Concatenate Creates a new data table from two or more open data tables by combining them
end to end.
Join Creates a new data table by merging (joining) two tables side by side.
Update Updates one table with data from a second table without producing a new data table.
Missing Data Pattern Shows a pattern that your missing data creates. The pattern might help
you make discoveries about your data.
