The following topics describe a few important Data menu tasks. Two other important Data menu tasks, stacking columns and recoding values, are described and used in Chapter 16. Data menu tasks not described in this book include ranking and standardizing data, converting the values of a variable from numeric to character or character to numeric, producing a summary data set, transposing a data set, taking a random sample, and creating a new column that is a square, square root, reciprocal, or exponential of an existing column. Consult the Analyst online help for more information about these tasks.
