Merge Options
You can access the Merge Options dialog box in the following ways:
- Ribbon bar. Select the Data tab. In the Manage group, click Merge to display the Merge Options dialog box.
- Classic menus. On the Data menu, select Merge to display the Merge Options dialog box.
This dialog box contains four tabs: Variables, Text Labels, Cases, and Options. The options described here are displayed in the Merge Options dialog box regardless of which tab is selected. Note that these options are used to merge 2 files. To merge more than 2 files, see the Statistica Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) Overview.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| File 1 | The File 1 field displays the name of the active file. Click the File 1 button to browse for a different spreadsheet from disk or to select any currently open spreadsheet. |
| File 2 | Click the File 2 button to browse for the spreadsheet you want to merge with File 1. The File 2 field will display the name of the file. Statistica adds the variables of File 2 after the variables of File 1. |
| OK | Select the desired options on the tabs, and click the OK button to perform the merge. |
| Cancel | Click the Cancel button to close this dialog box without merging any data files. |
