Case Names

Case names are used as labels only, so they can contain all printable characters. To access the Case Names Manager:

Ribbon bar. Select the Data tab. In the Cases group, click Names.

Classic menus. On the Data menu, select Case Names Manager, or from the toolbar menu, select Case Name Manager.

Editing Case Headers (Names)

Case headers cells, located at the far left of the Statistica Spreadsheet, contain header information for each case. Double-click on any case header cell to enter or edit text information. To select a block of case headers (without selecting their respective rows), position the mouse pointer on the left side of the case header cell (when Case States are turned off, that is, Display Case States is not checked on the View tab/menu, the mouse pointer is an outlined plus sign ; when Case States are turned on, the mouse pointer is a magnifying glass ). Hold the mouse button down and drag the pointer through the cells for a continuous block of case headers; press the CTRL key on your keyboard to select a discontinuous block of case headers. To select the entire case row (for editing), click once in the middle or right side of the Case Header (the mouse pointer is an outlined plus sign with an arrow ). To autofit the Case Headers, double-click on the far-right side of any Case Header (the mouse pointer is a cross with a double-headed arrow ).

Note: Case Headers are optional and you can choose not to display them (toggle off Display Case Names from the View tab/menu); if they are not displayed, the case numbers are shown. Double-click on any Case Header cell to enter or edit text information.
