How to find the dataset attached to new data table

[#1]

Hi!

I recently had a bunch of datasets open in JMP and was running various PCA/Factor Analysis. In one of my analysis I turned the factor loadings into a data table. I saved the Factor loading table as its own file but I can't remember which of the original data sets the factor loadings belong too. Is there a way to tell which file the new factor loading table was created from? I think I may have screwed myself because I didn't save the source files I had opened.

Thanks!

In the upper left of the data table is a section with table scripts. Look to see if there is a “source” script. Right click on that script and select edit. This will open the script and you should be able to see the name of the source table.

This won't help after the fact, but I often keep track of tables similar to your loadings example by saving a script to recreate the table and any associated charts to the 'main' data table.  Here is what that workflow might look like:

If you know you will open that graph frequently, the script can be modified slightly to close the data table when the graph closes.

// table with loadings
dt = New Table( "Loadings",
	Add Rows( 4 ),
	New Table Variable( "Matrix", "Formatted Loading Matrix" ),
	New Script(
		"Loading Plot",
		Graph Builder(
			Size( 534, 456 ),
			Show Control Panel( 0 ),
			Variables( X( :Prin1 ), X( :Prin2, Position( 1 ) ), Y( :Row ) ),
			Elements( Bar( X( 1 ), X( 2 ), Y, Legend( 4 ) ) )
		)
	),
	New Column( "Row",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Values( {"Petal length", "Petal width", "Sepal length", "Sepal width"} )
	),
	New Column( "Prin1",
