Figure 3.7 Elements Indicating Column Characteristics and Properties
Italics indicates that the column is locked into the first column of the table.
When you scroll horizontally, the column remains visible.
X, Y, W, or F indicates the column has been assigned a preselected role so, in
analyses, it will always appear as the x, y, weight, or frequency role.
Yellow tag indicates that points on plots corresponding to the column will be
identified by the value instead of the row number.
Mask indicates that the column is hidden in the data grid.
Circle with a strikethrough indicates that the column will be excluded from
any analyses you run.
Lock indicates that the column has been locked and cannot be edited.
Asterisk indicates that the column contains one or more properties. Click to
reveal a list of properties the column contains.
A plus sign indicates that the values in the column result from a formula. When
formula evaluation is suppressed, part of the icon becomes gray. (See “Using
Formula Editor Options,” p. 311, for details.) Double-click to view and edit
the formula.
Range check icon indicates that the column can contain only values within a
range of numbers. Click to view and edit the range.
List check icon indicates that the column can contain only individual values.
Click to view and edit the list.
The Rows Panel
The rows panel (Figure 3.8) shows the number of total rows, selected (or highlighted) rows, excluded
rows, hidden rows, and labeled rows.
To access row commands, click the small red triangular icon to the left of the word Rows, as shown in
Figure 3.8. These commands give you the same options as selecting the Rows command from the main
menu, which is discussed in “The Rows Menu,” p. 428.
