Exclude & Include

If you need to exclude data from statistical analysis, then you:

• Select the data to exclude in the spreadsheet; the selection may either be a range of cells, or one or more complete rows (cases).
• Select Exclude in the Tools menu.

To include data that have been excluded, you:

• Select the data to include in the spreadsheet; the selection may either be a range of cells, or one or more complete rows (cases).
• Select Include in the Tools menu.

Data that have been marked as excluded in the spreadsheet will be displayed in red, but you can select a different color in the Format spreadsheet box.

The Exclude and Include commands are also available in the spreadsheet shortcut menu (after right-clicking).

In the following example the age for case 4 has been excluded. In addition, cases 6 and 7 are entirely excluded.
