The Logic can be modified.

Move Up/Move Down

Use Move Up and Move Down to rearrange the order of Value labels and logic.

Insert Rows/Delete Rows

Use Insert Rows to add new Value labels and logic rows.
New rows are always inserted above the selected row.
Use Delete Rows to delete an existing Value labels and logic row.
Multiple Value labels and logic rows can be selected for deletion but they must be contiguous.

Reverse

Reverse can be used to reverse the order of Value labels and logic rows.
More than one Value labels and logic row must be selected to use the Reverse option.

Duplicate

Use Duplicate to duplicate a Value labels and logic row.
Multiple Value labels and logic rows can be selected for duplication but they must be contiguous.

Combine Values

Use Combine Values to combine two or more Value labels and logic rows into one row.
The resulting Logic reflects the combine code values.
The Value Label from the first row becomes the Value Label for the combined row but can be modified to reflect the combined Value Labels.

Sort

Highlight a Value Label or Logic cell and use Sort to sort the Value labels and logic rows.
When a Value Label cell is selected, the Value labels and logic rows are sorted in Ascending order by Value Label.
When a Logic cell is selected, the Value labels and logic rows are sorted in Ascending order by Logic.
Selecting Sort again reverses the sort order (i.e. if originally sorted in Ascending order, when Sort is selected again it will re-sort in Descending order).

Replace

Highlight the cell(s) for replacement.
Enter the string to use as the search criteria in the Find what: field.
Enter the string you want to use as replacement text or paste it from the clipboard in the Replace with: field.

Select the Vertical justification (Top justify or Bottom justify) when using the Value Labels from this variable as the banner column text.

Restore to Original Values

Allows you to restore any changes made to Variable label and/or Value labels and logic for this variable to the original values found in the data file.
Once changes have been made to the Variable label and Value labels and logic for a variable, if this variable is selected again from the variable list to be used again in the same Section or a new Section, the changes previously made are in effect.
Use Restore to Original Values if you want to start with the original values found in the data file for this variable.

Undo Changes
