What inspired this wish list request?
Analyze/Tabulate allows a user to do a trick that is not possible with Tables/Summary or JSL/Summarize.
it's no magic - but it's suuuper useful: stacking of different "tables" - like here the analysis split by age and sex:
there is even a possibility to export this "collection" as a real data table via Make Into Data Table:
oh no, almost - JMP exports every part as a separate table, so actually it's a Make into multiple Data Tables.
This approach definitely makes sense, the structures of the individual parts might differ
- then it doesn't make sense to combine everything into one table.
On the other hand, there ARE cases where a combined data table makes sense ...
What is the improvement you would like to see?
For Analyze/Tabulate please provide a functionality Make into SINGLE data table
which generates a table:
☝To make sure that no information is lost, the differences between the tables should be added as a separate column
(here: with the entries age and sex).
Why is this idea important?
The structure is already visible after generating the Tabulate report -
with the possibility to directly combine the results into one data table the user doesn't need to:
- concatenate the different data tables - leading to too many "labelling column"
- stack the different labelling columns - leding to rows with empty labels
- get rid of of rows with empty labels
... saving him/her from some additional issues on the way:
