Select your source collection and choose Sample Cases from the Analyze menu. |
A sample is a kind of derived collection.
To make a Sample Collection,
Method 1 (using menus)
Select a collection to make it the active component. It will have a border when it's active.
Choose Sample Cases from the Analyze menu.
The sample appears. It will have a sample of the cases from the original, source collection.
If your collection was named data, the new collection's name will be Sample of data. You can treat it as you would any collection: you can make case tables of it, graph it, and so forth.
Method 2 (by dragging)
Make a new collection, for example, by dragging one off the shelf.
Drag the name of the "source" collection into the new collection. The new collection becomes a sample collection, just as above.
