Hide Variable

Harry Smith
How do you hide a varaible so that it is no longer in the Data View? If you
have many variables it would be convenient to hide some.

If I click the 'Variables' icon all my variables are listed with a tick box
to their left ticked under the heading 'Visible'.  The tool tip under this
tick box says 'displays the numeric and string variabe in the data file'.
But I am unable to untick any of the boxes so I do not know what this would
do if I could untick them.  I cannot find any description of this tick box
in the help file.

I am using SPSS 15

All the best

harry

Hi Harry,

Select Utilities>Define Variable Sets...

This dialog enables you to define subsets of variables to display in
the the Data Editor and in the variable lists of SPSS dialogs.

Cheers,


Jason
