Finding cases, variables, or imputations

The Go To dialog box finds the specified case (row) number or variable name in the Data Editor.

Cases

1. For cases, from the menus choose:

   Edit > Go to Case...

2. Enter an integer value that represents the current row number in Data View.

Note: The current row number for a particular case can change due to sorting and other actions.

Variables

1. For variables, from the menus choose:

   Edit > Go to Variable...

2. Enter the variable name or select the variable from the drop-down list.

Imputations

This feature requires the Missing Values option.

1. From the menus choose:

   Edit > Go to Imputation...

2. Select the imputation (or Original data) from the drop-down list.

Alternatively, you can select the imputation from the drop-down list in the edit bar in Data View of the Data Editor.

Relative case position is preserved when selecting imputations. For example, if there are 1000 cases in the original dataset, case 1034, the 34th case in the first imputation, displays at the top of the grid. If you select imputation 2 in the dropdown, case 2034, the 34th case in imputation 2, would display at the top of the grid. If you select Original data in the dropdown, case 34 would display at the top of the grid. Column position is also preserved when navigating between imputations, so that it is easy to compare values between imputations.
