Add Criteria

From the Criteria menu, select Add to display the Add Criteria dialog box. It is also displayed when you click a field in the Graphic pane and drag it onto the Criteria tab.

Use the options in this dialog box to define the criteria that records must meet in order to be included in the cases that Statistica Query will return as data.

For example, you can specify criteria to select only records that have a certain value (such as customers in Louisville) or a specific range of numbers (such as orders that are between $1,700 and $1,900).

See Criteria for additional information.
