5.3.2.3 Filter Rows
Most likely, there will be data that the user does not want to include in the spreadsheet. For
example, it may not be desirable to view or analyze practice data, incorrect trials, or response
times outside of a specific range (e.g., RT < 100). E-DataAid offers the ability to filter the data
based on specific criteria using the Filter command. When filtered, the spreadsheet will display
only data matching the filter criterion. Data not matching the criterion is hidden from view. E-
DataAid does not include hidden rows when analyzing, copying, or exporting data. Filtering may
be performed using E-DataAid’s Filter command on the Tools menu, or by clicking the Filter tool
button. Activating this command displays the Filter dialog.
A filter may also be applied to a specific column by selecting a variable in the Column name drop-
down list, and using the Checklist or Range buttons to specify the criterion for the filter.
Checklist Filter
The Checklist filter allows values to be individually checked for inclusion in the filter. For
example, in order to include only correct responses, use a Checklist filter applied to the accuracy
variable (e.g., Target.ACC), and select only the value “1” (i.e., indicating a correct response). The
resulting spreadsheet will display only correct responses (i.e., Target.ACC = 1).
