Data Windows |
The row headings in a data window give information on each observation, including the observation states and observation number. The total number of observations appears in the upper left corner of the data window.
SAS/INSIGHT software supports the following observation states:
An observation's marker and color appear at the left side of the row heading, as shown in Figure 31.7.
An observation's Label/UnLabel state is shown by a picture of a label around the observation number if the observation's label is displayed by default. In Figure 31.7, observations 2, 4, and 8 are labeled.
An observation's Show/Hide state is shown by whether or not a marker is displayed in the row heading. In Figure 31.7, observations 2, 3, and 6 are hidden.
An observation's Include/Exclude state is shown by the way the observation number is displayed. The observation number is grayed-out for observations that are excluded from calculations. In Figure 31.7, observations 5 and 6 are excluded.
An observation's select state is shown by whether the row heading is highlighted or not. In Figure 31.7, observations 1, 2, 6, and 8 are selected.
You can use the Edit:Observations menu to set all of these observation states. This menu also enables you to find observations meeting a specific search criterion or to examine observations in detail.

You can also use the observation pop-up menu to set observation states. To see this menu for a particular observation, click on the observation's marker.

Note | SAS/INSIGHT software saves observation states when you save a data set and restores them when you read a data set. |
