How to Hide Uninteresting Data

This article describes how to use a built-in automation to search your dataset for potentially uninteresting data and automatically hide it. Uninteresting questions in this automation are defined as those that have:

• Identical values for all respondents.
• Different values for each respondent.

Hiding data prevents it from appearing in menus, so this is a way to keep your menus tidier.

Requirements

A Displayr document with a data set.

Method

1. Open your Displayr document that contains a data set.
2. Go to Data Sources and select your Data Set, Right-Click > Hide > Hide Uninteresting Data.
3. Displayr will suggest variables to hide in the data set:
4. If you would like to keep any of the variables identified as uninteresting, select the variables you'd like to keep unhidden and click OK.
5. You will receive a warning in case any of the uninteresting variables are used in tables and plots, and be prompted to delete the broken tables and plots.
6. The hidden variables will appear with a slash through it, indicating that it's hidden:
7. To unhide any variables, select the variable from the Data Sources tree, right-click on the variable, and select Unhide.
