Figure 3.16: Finding Observations
This displays the Find Observations dialog.
Select the POSITION variable. |
Scroll the list of variables at the left to see the
POSITION variable. Then point and click to select POSITION.
Notice that the list of values at the right now contains all the
unique values of the POSITION variable.
By default, the equal (=) test and the first value are selected.
Select the values 13, 1B, and 1O. |
On most hosts, you can either Shift-click or
CTRL-click to select these values. The players selected primarily
played first base. Note that players with POSITION =
O1 also played some first base, but they played primarily
in the outfield.
Click the Apply button to find the data. |
This selects observations without closing the
Find Observations dialog. Clicking the OK button
closes the Find Observations dialog after selecting
the observations.
Now all observations where POSITION is 13, 1B, or 1O are highlighted.
Choose Find Next from the data pop-up menu. |
The data window scrolls so the next observation with
POSITION = 13, 1B, or 1O is at
the top.
Choose Move to First from the data pop-up menu. |
This enables you to see all the selected observations in one place,
in this case at the top of the data window.
