Changing Header Labels

Change the Label Used for Variable Headers

Variable headers appear in the first row of the table.

To change the label used for variable headers:

Select the data table that you want to change.
Select Table ViewVariables, and then select either of the following:
- Display Name displays the name of each variable in the header row.
- Display Label replaces variable names with any descriptive labels that have been defined for the variables. This is the default setting. If no label exists in the data set for a variable, then the application displays the variable name.

Any change you make remains in effect only while the current project is open. If you close and then reopen the project, the change is not saved.

Observation headers appear in the first column of the table.

To change the label used for observation headers, complete these steps:

Select the data table that you want to change.
Select Table ViewObservations, and then select either of the following:
- Label by Observation Number displays observation numbers in the header column. This is the default setting.
- Label by Variable opens a dialog box where you can select the variable to use for the header column.
  
  Additionally, you can hide the selected variable from the table in order to prevent it from being displayed twice. In the dialog box, select Hide Label Variable.

Any change you make remains in effect only while the current project is open. If you close and then reopen the project, then the change is not saved.
