Saving a variable with a new name
You can create a new variable by editing an existing one and saving it with a different name. This is useful when you want to define alternative ways of tabulating the same variable. You can copy numeric, categorical, text, date, or Boolean variables.
To save a variable with a new name
1 Select the variable and edit it as required. See Editing variables for more information.
2 From the menu, choose File > Save Variable As.
3 In the Save Variable As dialog, enter a name and description for the variable. Ensure that the variable name conforms to the UNICOM Intelligence Reporter Naming conventions.
4 Click OK.
5 Choose Save and Close from the toolbar to close the Edit Variable dialog box.
The dialog box closes and the variable appears in the Variables pane.
