☐ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

The rows summary table on the bottom left of a table is very useful to get DataViews (subsets) for selected rows, excluded rows and so on.
The Data View

Unfortuntely, in my daily work it's much more often that I need a subset of non-excluded rows than of excluded rows.
So, I go:

1)

2)

3)

my wish: an additional entry for non-excluded rows,
like this

and by this: the opportunity to generate a DataView for non-excluded rows.

Additional benefit:

One can directly see the number of actually used (= non-excluded) rows and doesn't have to calculate it (all rows - excluded)

I have been think about this one for a while, and on my short holiday I decided to work on a scripted approach to do this.

We are looking into this, however, to make this easier to.

Here is my script:

/***************************************************
SCRIPT NAME:  Row Selector Viewer

AUTHOR(s):
Sam Gardner, JMP Statistical Discovery LLC

JMP VERSION:  
Built with JMP 17.0 and tested with JMP 16.2

PURPOSE: 
To allow the user to be able to easily subset and see rows that are selected or excluded or hidden, OR unselected or unexcluded or unhidden

SPECIFICATION:
Views of the desired subset of the current data table are created using linked subsets and data box views within a report window.  Upon selecting an option, an invisible linked
subset of the desired rows to view is created, and then a new data view in a  data box is displayed in the scripted report window.

USAGE: 
Must be run with a data table open.
Upon running, choose the subset of the rows to view by selecting the check boxes.  Note that this current version
only allows subsetting based in Selected/Excluded/Hidden or Unselected/Unexcluded/Unhidden

ASSUMPTIONS: None.

SCRIPT REVISION HISTORY:

VERSION	DATE		DESCRIPTION
1.0		2022 Dec 14	First Version

NOTES:
N/A

TO DO:
N/A

FUTURE IMPROVEMENT IDEAS:
None at this time.

I found this in the outbox - don't know if I posted it somewhere else?

In the same context - please also allow the user to send

dt << Get nonExcluded Rows();

to a data table:
https://community.jmp.com/t5/Discussions/col-lt-lt-get-values-for-non-excluded-rows/m-p/556579/highl...

fastes single-line command for this important piece of code is ~ factor 10 slower:

allRows = dt << get rows where( Excluded() == 0 );

And first asking for the non-excluded rows and then "inverting" the list adds ~ 30% to the time budget

hogi · ‎12-14-2022

@SamGardner.

Thank you for the code - really nice menus.
should definitely go to the Subset menu of Jmp 18 :)

We could ask @julian if he wants to add it to the Dynamic subset Add-In as well :)

Concerning my post here, I actually thought about something much tinier - just to add an option for the non-excluded rows to the menu on the lower left of a data table.

To be honest, I am already so used to selecting the excluded rows and then to invert the selection - I would say that such a feature comes would come too late for me.

But as many of my posts - the wishes are not mainly for myself, but more for my co-workers ... and all the other users in the community :)

With the introduction of QuickSelect Toolbar it got a bit easier:

The click count reduced from

- select excluded rows (2 clicks)

- invert selection (rows - row selection - invert row selection = 3 clicks)

- data view for selected rows (2 clicks)

➜ 7 clicks

to

- select excluded rows (2 clicks)

- invert (1 click)

- data view for selected rows ~~(2 clicks)~~ with the new Quickselect Toolbar: 1 click
➜ 5 4 clicks

Outlook:

with non-excluded added to the menu on the bottom left, it will be 2 clicks :)

hogi · ‎01-10-2023

Hm, how about:

- don't add "non-Excluded" to the overview table

- but add Select non-excluded to the right click contect menu of Excluded

are there users who use the hidden functionality?

then add a similar option to select non-hidden rows

thanks for
where(not(excluded));

@Sarah-Sylvestre
with all these options available, from my point of view the topic can be closed.

There are other much more important entries in the wish list.

Sarah-Sylvestre · ‎08-08-2024

Thank you for the update @hogi!

the most important DataView? NON-excluded rows!
