Editing existing data

The raw data grids can be edited by using the mouse to click on a cell to select it,

and typing in a new value.

Note: If you press the Delete key while a cell is selected, the entire row will be

deleted. If you do wish to use the Delete key, then make sure that only the value

in the cell is selected.

Changes made to the raw data are transferred to the working data by clicking the

calculations. Note that output windows will not show calculations using the edited

data until the methods have been re run by selecting them in the normal fashion.

The Working Data grids can also be edited. Changes made to the working grids

will not be transferred to the raw data grid. Transformed or otherwise changed

working data can be saved as a new data set using
