Select a row or column. Choose Activate to reactivate a row or column that has been deactivated. A deactivated row's or column's background color is gray.
Deactivate
Deactivates a row or column
Select a row or column. Choose Deactivate to deactivate a row or column. The row's or column's background color changes to gray. You can deactivate a row to eliminate an outlier sample or for other reasons.
Flip Active to Deactive
Activates rows (or columns) which are not active; deactivates rows (or columns) which are active
The Flip feature is provided to make it easier to reach the desired goal when more than half of the rows or columns need to have their active status reversed. In this case, just change the ones that are correct to the other status, and then Flip all the rows (or columns) at once.

This functions as a toggle. When the Attribute columns are hidden, an option marker appears next to this menu item. Use this feature to view only the parameters.

Select a row or column. Choose Attribute to Parameter to change a column from an Attribute column to a Parameter column.
Parameter to Attribute
