ExpressTable Editor|Table Editor tab

In the Express Table Editor, you can edit tables using the Table Editor tab.

Name - The Name field is the name of your table (also referred to as Table no. in Setup|Tables). When tables are created from variables using Express Tables from Variable Data, the variable Name becomes the table Name.

Index - The index number used when the Apply to Other Tables tab is selected to create USE tables or when the USE Rows option of Setup|Tables|Add Table is selected. This field is display only on the Table Editor tab.

Table is active - Indicates if a table is active or inactive (commented out). A table that is inactive (commented out) will have a "C" in the first column for each line of the table in the WinCross job file. When the Table is active check box is not selected, the Active column for each row of the table is "N". This is an easy way to comment out an entire table. When the Table is active check box is selected, the Active column for each row of the table is "Y".

Table options - The Table options for the selected table. These are a series of two-character codes used to represent specific table, filter and statistics options. Table options entered here need to be separated by a comma.

You can automatically add or remove table options by using the Select dropdown list . To add an option that is not currently specified for this table, choose that option from the Select dropdown list. Choosing an option from the Select dropdown list that is already currently specified for this table will remove that option.

Filter - The Filter title, logic and type for the selected table. Clicking in the Filter field will automatically display the Table Filter dialog box where you can enter the Filter title, Filter logic and Filter type. You also have the option of entering the same information in the Filter field using the syntax of filter title^filter logic^filter type.

filter type 0 = Total
filter type 1 = Total Answering
filter type 2 = Sigma

Title - The table Title for the selected table. When tables are created from variables using Express Tables from Variable Data, the variable Label becomes the table Title. You can edit the table Title.

Table titles can have up to 1000 characters and will display on up to four lines.
Text automatically wraps, but you can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines in the Table title window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the table 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.
Alternatively, you can specify a break by inserting a vertical bar (|) at any point you want a break to appear. The Table title is left justified, unless you choose centering in Setup|Job Settings|Table Presentation.

Subtitle - The table Subtitle for the selected table. You can enter/edit the table Subtitle.

You can enter up to 1000 characters to display on up to 4 lines.
Text automatically wraps, but you can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines in the Subtitle window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the subtitle 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.
This text appears below the Table title, wherever the Table title appears on the page.
If you want a blank line displayed between the Table title and the Subtitle, enter a vertical bar (|) at the beginning of the subtitle or leave the first line of the subtitle blank.

Footnote - The table Footnote for the selected table. You can enter/edit the table Footnote.

A footnote can have up to 1000 characters on up to 4 lines.
Text automatically wraps, but you can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines in the Footnote window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the footnote 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.

Word wrap - Wraps long Row Text for easier viewing.

Rows

Displayed above the row list box are the total number of rows for the selected table and the number of currently selected rows. The table rows for the selected table are listed in a grid-like format with the following column headings:
# - row number for each row of the table.
Active - indicates if the row is active (Y) or inactive (N). An inactive row will have a "C" in the first column of that row in the WinCross job file.
Row Text - row text for each row of the table. You can highlight the Row Text column for all rows of the table by clicking in the Row Text column header.
A red squiggly line under Row Text indicates a potentially misspelled word in the cell.
You must double-click in the cell where only the potentially misspelled word will be underlined with a red squiggly line.
You can right-click on the word in the cell to see options for correcting the misspelled word.
For example, the entire row text of "Parks and recreation wrkers" would be underlined with a red squiggly line. If you double-click in the Row Text cell for that row, only the word "wrkers" would be now be underlined as the potentially misspelled word. You can right-click on "wrkers" to see options for correcting this misspelled word.
Row Text Ellipses - When selected you have the ability to format specific text on a row.

Highlight the desire text to change and then select one or more of the formatting options.

Logic - row logic for each row of the table. You can highlight the Logic column for all rows of the table by clicking in the Logic column header.
Mean value - enter a value to use for Mean statistics other than the value specified in row logic. The Table option of "SM" is required for the mean statistic to be calculated using the value specified here. You can highlight the Mean value column for all rows of the table by clicking in the Mean value column header.
Median value - enter a value to use for Median statistics or enter a value range to use for Grouped Median statistics if the value specified in row logic is a single value. The Table option of "SD" is required for the median statistic to be calculated using the value specified here. The Table option of "SG" is required for the grouped median statistic to be calculated using the value range specified here. You can highlight the Median value column for all rows of the table by clicking in the Median value column header.
Row Options - row options for each row of the table. These are a series of two-character codes used to represent specific row options (see Options - Job File Codes for a list of commonly used Row options). Row options entered here need to be separated by a comma. You can highlight the Row Options column for all rows of the table by clicking in the Row Options column header.
You can select the help button for a list of two-character job file codes for row options.
Row Options Ellipses - An alternative to using the row options help is to select the ellipses within the row options dialogue. Once selected you will be presented will all available rows options. WinCross will then apply to correct code(s) to the selected row.
Rows can be moved Up or moved Down in the list either separately or in a contiguous group.
Blank rows can be inserted using the Insert Row option. The new row is inserted above the selected row(s) except in the case where the last row is the selected row. When the last row is the selected row the Insert Row option will insert the new row after the selected row.
Rows can be deleted either separately or in a contiguous group using Delete Rows.
Rows can be reordered in reverse order by highlighting the rows and choosing the Reverse option. For example, this is a quick and easy way to reverse the order of rows for a rating scale.

IMPORTANT: When there are NET rows on a table, using the Reverse option for rows will not adjust the NET logic automatically. You will need to edit the table to adjust this logic. For example if the first row of your table is a net row defined as NET2 and you reverse the rows, the NET2 is now the last row on the table. If you still want to net the two previous rows, the NET2 logic for that row should be changed to NET-2.

Rows can be duplicated either separately or in a contiguous group using Duplicate.
Net Selected Rows allows you to net selected rows together to create a new row. The new 'net' row reports the total cases for each row included in the net. A 'net' row shows the number of respondents who answered with one of the values included in the rows being netted together.
Net Using Code Values allows you to net selected rows together to create a new row using the code values of the selected rows. The new 'net' row reports the total cases for each row included in the net. A 'net' row shows the number of respondents who answered with one of the values included in the rows being netted together. The logic for this new 'net' row uses the code values for the logic in place of the NET n logic but also excludes this row from statistics. This type of net row can be used, for example, when you want your Top 2 Box net row at the bottom of the table. You can create the row using the Net Using Code Values option and then edit the Row Text (if necessary) and use the Down option to position the new row at the bottom of the table.
Subtotal Selected Rows allows you to report the total number of mentions for a group of rows for responses to multi-response questions. The 'sub' row shows the total number of responses and reflects the fact that respondents were permitted multiple responses.
Find allows you to enter search criteria for locating a specific instance of a text string. Enter the text string to find and select OK. You can limit the search to only search within selected cells by selecting the Search only within selected cells check box. To ignore the case for searching, select the Ignore case check box. Use Find Next to locate the next instance of the text string until The search string was not found message displays.
Replace allows you to enter search criteria for locating specific instances of text strings and to replace the current text with text entered in the Replace with field. To ignore the case for searching, select the Ignore case checkbox.
Toggle Active changes the Active column for the selected row(s) from inactive "N" to active "Y". A table that is inactive (commented out) will have a "C" in the first column for each line of the table in the WinCross job file.
Sort will allow you to sort all of the rows based on the column highlighted or just sort selected rows based on the column highlighted. For example, if one cell in the Row Text column is selected and you choose Sort, it will sort all rows based on the contents of the Row Text column. If multiple cells in the Row Text column are selected and you choose Sort, it will sort only the rows selected based on the contents of the Row Text column. The Sort option will toggle between an ascending sort and a descending sort and is case sensitive. To sort rows ascending, select a column, cell or group of cells in a column and choose Sort. To sort rows descending, leave the same column, cell or group of cells in a column selected and choose Sort again. The Sort option becomes disabled if you select cells in more than one column.
Add Codes will attempt to add the code value in parentheses at the end of row text for each row specified. For example, if your row text is "Well-maintained" and the logic for that row is Q5 (1), when you select Add Codes, WinCross will add "(1)" to the end of the row text resulting in "Well-maintained (1)".
Remove Codes will remove any code values added to the row text using the Add Codes option. The Add Codes option immediately becomes Remove Codes after codes are added and allows you the opportunity to remove the codes just added.
