Description | Usage | See Also

## Description

The data window provides the basic visualization of all data in the current worksheet. The data window provides two basic views of the worksheet data set, the Data View and the Variable View. All analyses in the worksheet are based on the data stored in the worksheet's data window.
The data window should be considered the base window for all analyses. Two views are available:

### Data View

The Data View presents all data in a spreadsheet-like form. Each column represents one variable in the worksheet. Locations where data is not available will appear blank in this view. Columns (or variables) can be selected by clicking the headings. A block of data can be selected by dragging the mouse over the cells of interest.

### Variable View

The Variable View presents the data in a more traditional table format. This view specifies the number of observations in each variable, the variable type, and the user-defined descriptions. The data type can be one of three types:

Integer | An integer value without fractional components
Double | A double precision (64-bit) floating point value
DateObject | An object containing a date, which is only used when dealing with time-series data

## Usage

The Data Window acts as the root of the worksheet, and most functions are addressable from its menus and toolbar. A diagram of the menu and toolbar is shown below:
The following sections describe the individual functionality of each of the menu and toolbar options. Some generic program options are described in the Main Window Menu and Main Window Toolbar sections.
