Data file versus dataset: WinCross Executive makes a distinction between a "data file" and a "dataset". "Data file" refers to data in its conventional format: as a disk file with a file extension, such as *.sav. "Dataset" refers to that same data after it has been converted for use with WinCross Executive. Once variables are edited (or deleted) in WinCross Executive, the dataset differs from the data file. To revert to the original data file (variable structure), the Regenerate Dataset option on the My Drive menu can be used. To create a new data file from a modified dataset, the Export Dataset option on the Datasets dialog can be used. |
- You cannot upload files to a folder that was shared to you unless you were given Write privileges by the Owner of this folder.
- Folders cannot be uploaded.
