"apply" value labels

hogi — Sun, 11 Jun 2023 00:00:58 GMT

When I remove a formula from a column, the calculated values stay.

When I remove a Value Labels Property from a column, the values switch back to the original values.

Is there an alternative remove (~ "apply") function for value Labels, which converts the data type of the column to character and keeps the Value Labels?

Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

dt << New Column( "sex2",
	Formula(Recode(:sex,{Map Value( _rcOrig, {"F", "female", "M", "male"} )}));
);
dt:sex 2 << Delete Formula;

dt:sex << Value Labels( {"F" = "female", "M" = "male"} ) << Use Value Labels( 1 );
dt:sex << delete property( Value Labels );

Removed to reduce confusion.

After you have Value Labels set

and you go to recode columns you will have an option for recoding them

this seems to replace the values with labels
