Finding variables
▪Use the Find box to search for variables that contain specific characters in their names, descriptions, question texts, or category names or texts.
▪Type the first few characters of a variable's name to go straight to the next variable whose name starts with those characters.
▪Click a column headings to sort the variables on that column. Click the heading again to switch between ascending, descending, and unsorted order.
▪Restrict the variables that are displayed to the types that are relevant to your work. For example, when you are defining the structure of tables, you might want to exclude text, filter, weighting, and system variables from the list.
▪Define which columns are displayed and in which order. For example, you can show the text of the question on which the variable is based in addition to the variable description that is shown by default. In some data sets, only one of these texts might be available.
