Use the Edit Variable dialog to specify the content of variables when they appear in your tables.

To open the Edit Variable dialog, double-click on a variable name in the Variables pane or select a variable in the Variables pane and choose Variables > Edit Variable from the menu.

The changes you make in this dialog define how the variable appears when you add it to a table. Any changes you make here are not shown in the tooltips in the Variable List and are not available for defining filter conditions. For example, suppose you use the Insert Bands dialog to categorize the values in a numeric variable into two bands called High and Low. When you subsequently create a filter based on this numeric variable, the High and Low bands will not appear in the Filter tab and you will not be able to specify them in an advanced filter expression. ee Filter conditions.

Generally any changes you make in the Edit Variable dialog affect all tables that include the variable, although the changes are not visible in existing tables until you repopulate them. However, changes do not affect any tables where you have used the Edit Table Variable dialog to define how the variable is to appear in those specific tables.
