After you add a column to the data filter, a red triangle menu appears. Some of the red triangle options for a variable can vary, depending on the type of variable.
The red triangle menu next to any type of variable contains the following generic options:
Clear Selection
Clears any selection in effect for that variable only.
Invert Selection
Deselects any selected values, and selects all values previously not selected, for that variable only.
Modeling Type
Shows a submenu of modeling types for the column filter. By default, the column filter type is set to the column’s modeling type. You can change the filter type by selecting a different modeling type in the submenu.
For continuous variables, values appear in a histogram with vertical lines at the minimum and maximum values. You can adjust the selected range by clicking on the vertical lines and dragging. The updated range is highlighted in blue.
The following options are available for continuous variables only:
Select Missing
Selects rows that contain missing values.
Include Minimum Value
Includes or excludes the minimum value in the selected range. When the minimum value is excluded, the solid vertical line in the histogram becomes a dashed vertical line.
Include Maximum Value
Includes or excludes the maximum value in the selected range. When the maximum value is excluded, the solid vertical line in the histogram becomes a dashed vertical line.
Set Number of Bins
Sets the number of bins for the histogram.
Zoom to Selection
Shows only the selected range in the histogram. The menu item changes to Reset Zoom after you select it. Reset Zoom resets the display.
For nominal and ordinal variables, values appear in blocks, in a list, or in a menu. If the variable contains only a small number of categories, the values appear in blocks. If the variable contains a large number of categories, the values appear in a list or in a menu. However, you can change these default settings.
