Select your source collection and choose Collect Measures from the Analyze menu. |
A Measures collection is a kind of derived collection. To make a Measures Collection,
Method 1 (using menus)
1. Select the collection from which you want to collect measures. This makes it the active component. It will have a border when it's active.
2. Choose Collect Measures from the Analyze menu.
The Measures collection appears. It will have one case by default. The attributes for that case will be the measures of the source collection.
If your collection was named data, the new collection's name will be Measures from 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)
1. Make a new, empty collection, for example, by dragging one off the shelf.
2. Open the inspector for your "source" collection. Make sure the Measures pane is showing. How?
3. Drag the name of any measure from the inspector into the new collection. The new collection becomes a measures collection as described above.
