Data tab (Data grid)

The cells of the Data tab contain the data values of each variable for each record. The variables are the columns and the records are the rows. The cell is the intersection of the column and the record.

The data values in cells on the Data tab can be edited based on the type of data (format) specified for that variable.
The type of data (Number or String) for a variable is specified in the Type field on the Variables tab.
For numeric data (where Type is Number), the format of the data cell is controlled by the format specified in the Field Format field on the Variables tab.
You can enter or modify data using the Data tab.
Data can be entered in any cell and in any order.
The actual data value in the highlighted cell is displayed in the upper left corner above the data grid when a cell is highlighted.
Data values are not updated until you select Enter or choose another cell.
Characters entered that are not allowed by the variable type specified on the Variables tab are not saved.
For string data (where Type is String), you cannot enter data beyond the defined width (Field Width) of the variable.
You can use the Word wrap option to wrap long data strings for easier viewing.
The Spell check option turns on spell checking for variables that are String type only. This option will remain selected for each WinCross session until it is deselected. A red squiggly line indicates a potentially misspelled word in the cell. You must click in the cell to show the cell contents at the top of the data grid where only the potentially misspelled word will be underlined with a red squiggly line. You can right-click on the word at the top of the data grid to see options for correcting the misspelled word.
Selecting the Show value labels check box allows you to toggle between displaying the Value label or Code value.
