Sorting

This node computes and creates a new output data spreadsheet that has been sorted by up to 4 keys. The order of sort keys depends on the selection of variables into the respective lists. Key 1 refers to the first variable in the respective list, Key 2 to the second variable, and so on.

Subset

Element Name Description
Subset variables downstream This node will create a data spreadsheet for further subsequent analyses. You can either create a subset of the variables, retaining only those that were selected for the analyses (select Yes), or you can 'carry along' all variables from the original input data source.
