Spreadsheet panel

A spreadsheet displays the current dataset information in a grid format. Subsets within the dataset appear across the bottom of the spreadsheet. The spreadsheet functions much like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

You can enter additional data in the cells or change existing data. You can copy, cut, and paste data within cells. Use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the display to view additional data columns.

Click each subset at the bottom of the spreadsheet to see the data associated with that subset.

You can also export the data on the spreadsheet to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and other application types. To export the data, select File, Export, and the appropriate options.
