Series (Extracts)

Clicking on the name of a variable that represents a series opens the Series page. The series page provides information about the series.

• Variables that represent a series are identified by the series icon.
• A series is a variable that represents a group of variables that are linked together. For example, two or more variables that represent survey questions, and the answers to the questions, might be linked together in a series. When a table is built from an extract containing a series, the series appears as two dimensions, one for the questions and another for the answers.

  Note: To define a series, you must sign in to an account that has publisher privileges. Once you have signed in, click the Publish files button on the toolbar, and then click Manage files. (For more information, refer to the help topic "How to define a series in an extract" in the help for the Manage files page.)

  Note: A table cannot have two series at once, and a table cannot have both a series and a Measures dimension.

• The names and descriptions of both dimensions that will appear in the table appear at the top of the Series page, along with the number of items in each.
• The linked variables that make up the series appear at the bottom of the Series page, along with their item names, categories, and descriptions.
• To return to the Extract tab, click Back.
• To open a variable's Frequency page, click its name.
