This dialog allows you to select a single 3+ way table or multiple 2+ way
tables within a tabbed table.
A tabbed table is a GenStat table displayed in a spreadsheet over multiple pages.
The pages are indexed by one of the classifying factors of the table. A tabbed
table may also be formed of multiple tables all with the same classifying factors.
The tab factor then becomes the index to the table. The multiple tables are put
into a single table with a new factor to index the tables. This table can then
be reorganised to display for example different statistics such as mean, median,
variance, minimum, maximum on the same rows or columns of a table.
The following example shows a tabbed table of rainfall by year, month and day, where
the years are displayed across the pages in the spreadsheet.
The classifying factor used across the tabs can be changed using the
Reorder Spreadsheet Table margins menu.
When any page is edited in a way that changes the classifying factors,
then all pages are modified in parallel. For example, if the factor labels
in one page are changed, then they are changed on all pages. The tabs can
be reordered and renamed.
Once displayed in a spreadsheet, the properties of a tabbed table can
be modified using the Tabbed Table Properties menu.
Create tabbed Table from
This allows you to display either a single table with 3 or more classifying factors or
multiple tables with the same classifying factors (at least 2 are required).
| Single 3+ way table |
Display just one table with a factor whose levels form the tabs in the spreadsheet. |
| Multiple 2+ way tables |
Display multiple tables on the tabs in the spreadsheet. Note these tables are put into
a new GenStat table with a classifying factor that indexes the individual tables they where created from. |
Available Tables
This lists tables appropriate for the edit box which currently has focus. You can double-click a name to enter it in the
edit box.
Selected Table(s)
If a single table is being displayed, this is specified in the edit box and can be selected from the Available tables
list by double clicking a name, or by selecting a table in the list and clicking on the transfer button ->.
If multiple tables are being displayed, then these are provided in the list. Multiple tables can be entered into the
list by selecting these in the Available Tables list using the Ctrl or Shift keys, and then clicking the
the transfer button ->, or by double clicking multiple entries in that list.
Factor across tabs
For a single table, this specifies the classifying factor for which each tab displays a separate level.
If this is left blank, then the first classifying factor is used by default.
