5.3.6 Use the Results
Once a table has been created, it may be copied to the clipboard, exported to a text file for further
analysis in another application, or plotted. E-DataAid allows the user to easily format a table,
copy it, export it, and even plot it to Excel (Excel97 or Excel2000 must be installed on the working
machine for this option).
5.3.6.1 Format the Table
By default, when an analysis is run, the resulting table follows a default format. All row and
column variables are listed in separate rows or columns, statistics are displayed down rows, all
measures for a single variable are listed together, and measures are displayed to two decimal
places of precision. However, recognizing that the user may need to format tables differently for
different uses, E-DataAid allows a variety of format options. To format the table, click the Table
Options button on the Table dialog to display the Table Options dialog.
Each of the options may then be set to accommodate specific formatting requirements of various
external or statistical packages.
5.3.6.2 Copy the Table
Once a table has been created, E-DataAid allows the table data to be copied to the clipboard, or
directly to an Excel worksheet (the latter option requires Excel97 or Excel2000 to be installed).
Clipboard
To copy a table to the clipboard, click the Clipboard button on the Table dialog. A dialog appears
indicating if the copying operation was successful. Once copied to the clipboard, the table may
be pasted into another application (e.g., Microsoft Word, PowerPoint).
