• How to convert Minitab files to JMP® files

  JMP^® can import Minitab Portable file format (.MTP files) directly, without any need for Minitab itself. For Minitab Worksheet files (.MTW), JMP initiates a batch process where JMP creates a batch file of Minitab batch commands that actually causes Minitab to convert the worksheet to a temporary Minitab Portable file. It is this temporary Minitab Portable file that is then read into JMP. Because J...

• How to use a variable value in a formula

  If you use a global variable in your column formula, the formula might function normally in your current session of JMP^®, but when re-opening the application, the global variable will be nonexistent thus the formula will not evaluate properly. Instead of using the variable directly in the formula, you should substitute the variable value in its place. The function, Eval Expr() can be used for this...
