The Data Table

The JMP data table offers many powerful functions for managing your data. Browser panels on the left provide extended table attributes and readily accessible column and row operations.

• The tables panel at the top allows you to define table variables to store important information about your data such as the data source, date, engineering or research notes, etc. New table properties allow you to store scripts which can quickly regenerate analyses.
• The handy column browser allows you to view, manipulate and even rearrange columns (simply drag and drop) without having to scroll them into view in the spreadsheet. The browser contains helpful information such as column names, modeling type, role assignments and special attributes.
• Column properties allow you to build even more intelligence into your spreadsheet. For example, save your control limits with your quality variable. Specify how results should be sorted when you use a column as your grouping variable. Assign the role of a column to be used as a factor in a designed experiment.
• The rows panel tells you at a glance how many rows are selected, hidden, excluded or labeled. Use the row operations to add colors or markers or take advantage of more sophisticated techniques for row selection.

The columns browser allows you to view and modify the entire data table--not just the part of the spreadsheet you can fit on your screen. Column names that appear above data values can now wrap to the next line.
