Selecting Data in a Table

Select Cells in a Table

Use any of the following methods to select one or more cells in a table:
  • To select a single cell, click the cell.
  • To select multiple cells, click and drag the cursor across the cells that you want to select.
Note: When you double-click a cell, the cell becomes editable.[note end]

Select Variables in a Table

Use any of the following methods to select one or more variables in a table:
  • To select a single variable, click on the header for the variable that you want to select. The header and entire column are highlighted.
  • To select multiple variables, press and hold the CTRL key and select the variables that you want. To select a block of contiguous variables, select the first variable in the block, press the Shift key, and then select the last variable in the block.
  • To select a large number of variables, it might be easier to select a few variables that you don't want and then invert your selection. To invert a selection:
    1. In the data table, select one or more variables that you don't want selected.
    2. Right-click and choose Invert Selection from the pop-up menu. All currently selected variables become deselected, and all deselected variables become selected.

Select Observations in a Table

Use any of the following methods to select one or more observations in a table:
  • To select a single observation, click on the header for the row that you want to select. The header and entire row are highlighted.
  • To select multiple observations, press and hold the CTRL key, and select the rows that you want. To select a block of contiguous observations, select the first row in the block, press the Shift key, and then select the last row in the block.
  • To select a large number of observations, it might be easier to select a few observations that you don't want and then invert your selection. To invert a selection:
    1. In the data table, select one or more observations that you don't want selected.
    2. Right-click and choose Invert Selection from the pop-up menu. All currently selected observations become deselected, and all deselected observations become selected.
Note: When selecting observations, you might want to sort the data table first so the observations appear in a particular order. For instructions, see Sorting a Table . [note end]
