The Tables Menu
The Tables Menu
The Tables menu commands modify or create a new JMP table from one or more existing tables. This
section gives you an overview of each Tables menu command.
Summary
Creates a JMP window that contains a summary table, which summarizes columns from the active data
table, called its source table. See “Summarizing Columns,” p. 263, for details.
Subset
Creates a new data table that is a subset of the active data table. To quickly create a subset table,
highlight the rows you would like to subset, press the Shift key and select Tables > Subset. JMP
creates a linked subset table without asking you to complete the Subset window. See “Creating a Subset
Data Table,” p. 223, for details about creating subsets.
B The Main Menu
Sort
Sorts a JMP data table by one or more columns. The Sort command displays a window for you to
specify columns as sort fields. See “Sorting Data Tables,” p. 225, for details.
Stack
Creates a new data table from the active table by stacking specified columns into a single new column.
The values in other columns are preserved in the new data table. In addition, Stack creates an ID
column that identifies each row in the new table with values that are the corresponding column names
from the original table. Stack does the reverse of Split. See “Stacking Columns,” p. 227, for details.
Split
Creates a new data table from the active table by dividing one or more columns to form multiple
columns. The new columns correspond to the values (levels) of an ID variable. Split requires one or
more columns whose combined values identify each row in the new table. See “Splitting Columns,”
p. 232, for details.
Transpose
Creates a new data table whose columns of the original table are the rows of the new table, and the
original table rows are the new table’s columns. See “Transposing Rows and Columns,” p. 237, for
details.
Concatenate
Creates a new data table from two or more open tables by combining them end to end. See
“Concatenating Data Tables,” p. 241, for details.
