Enhancements:


Express Banners

  • Part vs Whole Significance Testing (Beta)
    New support for 'Part vs Whole' significance testing using arrows or symbols. Found under the Comparison Group tab. Symbols can be customized in Enhanced Text Report settings or overridden in the new Excel Options tab.

    Add banner-level comments (similar to table comments). These appear as hover hints under Run > Tables.
  • Multi-Paste Support
    Fixed and improved support for multi-pasting into banners. 
  • Auto Attribute Banners Update
    Automatically created attribute banners no longer use the USE keyword, allowing banner headers to be edited more easily.

    When adding a variable to existing banner columns, the original syntax now correctly uses braces {} for clarity. 
  • UI Header Locking
    Express Banner headers are now locked from unintended editing. 


Excel Output Options

    Located under Run > Tables > Excel Options > Report Options. Suppress various lines in the table header for cleaner Excel output.

    Expanded control over worksheet tab names via Run > Tables > Excel Options > Worksheet Options. 
  • Sheet Name Overrides
    Banners and tables now allow direct entry of sheet names. Custom names override defaults and maintain hyperlink functionality. 
  • Significance Letters in Same Cell – Improvements
    When showing the significance letter in the same cell WinCross was adjusting the row height incorrectly making it appear the significance letter was truncated. 


Express Table Setup

  • Auto Mode – Rating Scales
    New checkbox: “Show filter row on summary table.” When enabled, the filter row remains visible in the summary. 
  • Auto Mode – Title Cleanup Enhancements
    Improved automatic removal of unwanted characters from table titles.

    Undo (Ctrl+Z) now works in the View Job File Definition window.

    Fixed a bug where the bottom row of text was cut off when exporting Enhanced Text reports without banner underlines.
  • PDF Export – Row Height Issues
    Row height now calculates correctly when saving to PDF, resulting in cleaner output.

    Corrected an issue where charts displaying mean values failed when using [s] logic.
  • Glossary – LOOP Syntax Crash
    Entering invalid LOOP syntax (e.g., LOOP=) no longer crashes WinCross.
  • Glossary – ASSIGN Calculation Error
    The ASSIGN keyword now triggers an error when used for calculations. Use COMPUTE for all calculated values to ensure proper behavior.
  • Significance Footer Typo
    Fixed typo in significance testing footers: '#U and #L indicate significance at the #N% level.'
  • Excel Options Window UI
    The 'Add Run' button no longer overlaps the OK button when resizing the Excel Options window.
  • Excel Table Number Conflict
    Overriding table numbers under Run > Tables > Overrides no longer causes conflicts with Excel sheet naming.
  • VAR+ with “S” Scan Logic
    Complex logic using VAR+ and S (Scan) no longer causes WinCross to error.
  • Express Tables from Variable Data – Preview
    Commented out tables caused the preview to preview the wrong table. 
  • Express Banners – Spell Checker
    Fixed an issue where the spell checker was not functioning in the Express Banner edit interface.
