2.2.5 Data Run Rows
All of the data runs uploaded into the workbook file are listed on the Finder worksheet
as individual rows. The first data run uploaded into the workbook file is in the bottom
row and the most recent data run uploaded is in the top row.
When any data run row is selected, all of the cells in the entire row are highlighted in
purple and blue. The purple cells indicate that the cells can be modified and the blue
cells indicate the data cannot be modified.
When any individual data cell in a data run row is selected, all of the cells in the entire
row are highlighted in green and yellow. The green cells indicate that the cells can be
modified and the yellow cells indicate the data cannot be modified.
The data run rows can also be moved into any order desired. This is useful when the
user wants to place similar data runs together.
To change the order of the data run:
1. Select the number cell of a data run row with the mouse pointer. The row will
then become highlighted in purple and blue.
2. Drag the row and drop it to a desired location.
Figure 2-10: Drag and Drop Data Rows
Entire selected rows and columns can be copied and pasted into other
spreadsheet applications by pressing keys (CTRL + C) to “copy” and then
“pasted” by pressing keys (Ctrl + V).
♦♦12♦♦
2.2.6 Filters
There are Filters for each parameter label that filter specific data out of data runs so
the user can easily compare similar data.
Filtering more than one column at a time acts as a Logical AND Function. All
conditions of all set filters must be met for data row(s) to remain.
To use the Filter function:
1. Click the Filter button to reveal the unique data as populated in that column
under that particular parameter label.
2. Select a desired data value to filter, or the two standard filters All and Special.
FILTER
ARROW

Figure 2-11: Filter Function
To use the All option:
1. Select All to reset the filter for that column and view all of the data run rows that
meet the other column filters.
To use the Special option:
1. Select Special to select data run rows within a range of values. There are
multiple options to select information to filter by clicking the appropriate
relational operators option button (See Figure 2-12). The user can either select
data from a populated list or type it in the text box on the top of the column.
= equal to >= greater than or equal to
> greater than <= less than or equal to
< less than <> Not equal to
Figure 2-12: Relational Operators
♦♦13♦♦
2. Select a data filter by:
• Clicking the greater than relational operator option button beside the left data
column.
• Click a Parameter value from the list or type it in the text box.
• Click the AND logical operator option button.
• Click the less than relational operator option button beside the right data
column.
• Click a Parameter value from the list or type it in the text box.
The Clear command button can be selected at any time to clear the selections and
the new values can be selected.
3. Click the OK command button to accept the selected data filters or Cancel to
return to the worksheet without executing the filter request.
Figure 2-13: Special Filter Feature Dialog Box
In this example the data filtered would be all times between, but not including 13:08:08
and 14:46:04.
