Data Editor display options

The View menu provides several display options for the Data Editor:

Fonts. This option controls the font characteristics of the data display.

Grid Lines. This option toggles the display of grid lines.

Value Labels. This option toggles between the display of actual data values and user-defined descriptive value labels. This option is available only in Data View.

Using Multiple Views

In Data View, you can create multiple views (panes) by using the splitters that are located below the horizontal scroll bar and to the right of the vertical scroll bar.

You can also use the Window menu to insert and remove pane splitters. To insert splitters:

  1. In Data View, from the menus choose:

Window > Split

Splitters are inserted above and to the left of the selected cell.

  • If the top left cell is selected, splitters are inserted to divide the current view approximately in half, both horizontally and vertically.
  • If any cell other than the top cell in the first column is selected, a horizontal pane splitter is inserted above the selected cell.
  • If any cell other than the first cell in the top row is selected, a vertical pane splitter is inserted to the left of the selected cell.
