@hogi - Thank you for your suggestion! We have captured your request and will take it under consideration.

Hi Holger, thank you for this request (and the many others). Having a robust normalization option might make sense, but we haven't seen other such requests. Have you considered creating an add-in for this and other functions that you frequently perform?

Hi @mia_stephens.

"sorry" for the many requests

You are right, for some of the topics (like the normalize) I already have a shortcut on my toolbar - I like the idea of "staying in the flow" as much as Seve does:

So, why the "wishes"?
I am a bit surprised that nobody missed the "normalize" yet.
But I am sure that once it's there many people will use it

I have made following suggestion some time agoAdd normalization and robust statistical functions (and matrix functions) .

Also I would like to comment on the creation of add-in / other function. Big issue with those is distribution (and responsibility). There are many great add-ins even in JMP Community which in my opinion should be default features in JMP.

I implemented a very versatile normalization function in the QuickSelect Add-In.

If you want to implement a normalization function in the official version, you could steal some ideas from there

Normalize GUI was moved to a separate AddIn: Normalization GUI .
