Attribute ID
(Available only if Data is stacked is selected as the data structure.) Specifies the variables that are stacked.
Object ID
(Available only if Data are summarized or Data is stacked is selected as the data structure.) A column or columns that provide a unique identifier for each unit for which measurements are stacked.
Label
A column of values used to label the dendrogram in the report.
Note: If the selected data structure is Data is distance matrix, the Label column must have a character data type.
By
A column whose levels define separate analyses. For each level of the specified column, the corresponding rows are analyzed. The results are presented in separate reports. If more than one By variable is assigned, a separate analysis is produced for each possible combination of the levels of the By variables.
