Use the Variable Type Editor to reset variable types to one of numerical, factor (categorical), or label/ID.
Use the Data Viewer to view datasets or any subset of rows and columns of a dataset. Rearrange columns by drag and drop. View data grouped by values of a variable.
Use the Subset function to obtain a subset of your data. Construct subsets using row or column numbers or logical expressions and set operations.
Use the Transform function to add variables to a dataset using R functions, remove variables from a dataset, or rearrange column of a dataset.
Use the Sort function to sort your data based on the values of one or more variables.
Use the Reshape function to transform variables from wide to long format and vise versa.
Use the Merge function to merge two datasets with a variety of options, including inner join, or outer join, with flexibility in ordering the final result.
Use the Append function to append two datasets with various options to include variables from one or both datasets, or to include common variables, with flexibility in ordering the final result.
