Table
Filter (Express Table Editor)
You can
add a Filter to your table on
the Table
Editor tab of Setup|Express
Tables from Variable Data.
Filter
title
- Filter titles can have up to 480
characters on up to 4 lines when the Filter
title is printed under the table title. Text automatically
wraps, but you can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple
lines in the Filter title
window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the filter title for that
table in the job file (View|Job
File) automatically when multiple lines are entered. Keep
in mind that regardless of how many characters you enter on each line,
text will wrap based on the Table
title width specified on the
Table
Presentation tab of Setup|Job Settings for Plain Text Reports or on the Enhanced
Text Reports tab of Setup|Job
Settings for Enhanced
Text Reports. For example, if you enter 50 characters on
the first line and 50 characters on the second line and your table
title width is set at 40, the text will wrap at 40 characters and
then wrap again at the end of the first line, then wrap at 40 characters
from the second line and again for the remaining 10 characters of
the second line, resulting in 4 lines of row text. Alternatively,
you can specify where words should break by inserting a pipe symbol
(|) at the point where you want the break to occur.
- When the Filter
title is printed on the filter row, the number of lines depends
on the Row text width specified
in Setup|Job
Settings|Table Presentation (for
Plain Text Reports) or the Row
Text column width specified in Setup|Banners
(for Enhanced Text Reports).
You can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines
in the Filter title dialog.
Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the filter title of the job file
(View|Job
File) automatically when multiple lines are entered. Keep
in mind that regardless of how many characters you enter on each line,
text will wrap based on the row text width. For example, if you enter
50 characters on the first line and 50 characters on the second line
and your row text width is set at 40, the text will wrap at 40 characters
and then wrap again at the end of the first line, then wrap at 40
characters from the second line and again for the remaining 10 characters
of the second line, resulting in 4 lines of row text. Alternatively,
you can specify where words should break by inserting a pipe symbol
(|) at the point where you want the break to occur.
Filter
logic
The code ‘TN’
is supplied automatically for all filter types. You can overwrite this
code with any other logic you want to use for your filter. Filter logic
is identical to table and banner logic.
Filter
type:
Total
If you choose
Total
and don't enter
additional filter logic, all cases in the data file are included, even
those that have no data for the table.
Total answering
If you choose Total answering and don't enter additional filter logic, all cases in the
data file are included. ‘No answers’ are included on the table, but they
aren't in the filter so they are not
included in percents.
Sigma
Choose Sigma
when multiple answers per case
exist and you want the filter row to report the number of total responses
for the specific variable(s) being tabulated.
