Selecting Records Selecting records allows you to select a subset of records for tabulating or exporting data. If subsetting is necessary, it must be completed before making a table. 1. At the opening
menu, click the + sign to the left of the Data folder. Names of data files drop
down. Click on a file name>Tabulate data. This command will provide
you with an empty spreadsheet to build a table. = equal to != not equal to > greater than < less than >=greater than or equal to <=less than or equal to : in ("in" operators are used to collect records in or not in an interval) !: not in
6. If you have more than one criteria for the subset, make sure to chose the
appropriate connector. The system will not retain a selected subset. Changing to a different option (such as from Tabulate to Export) will clear the selected subset. To retain the subset for further use, save the expression to the hard drive before selecting the records. The subset expression can be loaded at a later time for use with another option.
