Change a Variable’s Measurement Level

The measurement level of a variable is a classification that describes the type of data that a variable contains. Variables can be numeric or character depending on their measurement levels. In SAS/GRAPH Network Visualization Workshop, the measurement level can be one of the following measurement levels:
Nominal Variables can be either numeric or character.
Interval Variables must be numeric.
To change the measurement level of a variable:
  1. Select the variable in the data table.
  2. Right-click and select either Interval or Nominal.
Your change remains in effect only while the current project is open. If you close and then reopen the project, then your change is not saved.
