6.1 Spreadsheet Overview

The Optimus RP spreadsheet viewer allows the data to be previewed and manipulated before doing recursive partitioning analysis. For the sake of consistent nomenclature in this manual, each column in the spreadsheet is called a variable. When referring to these data points in the data set, you may have referred to them as ﬁelds.

Figure 6.1:

Data in the Optimus RP spreadsheet viewer prior to doing recursive partitioning analysis.

Note that the spreadsheet viewer has pull-down menus, tool buttons, the main spreadsheet view on one of several tabs, and an “X” on the lower-right corner. The menus will be discussed in section 6.3 below. The tool buttons act as shortcuts to some of the menu items. If it turns out you do not need the data on the current tab, you can use the “X” on the lower-right corner to delete it, both from the view and from the project itself. (If you do not save the project changes, the action of such a deletion will not be saved and the tab will be retained.)
