Add Weights to a Table

The declaration of weights is available from the Tally Attributes for a Table dialog box. Weights are available for the entire table and/or individual subtables.

Weights can be a data item name, a numeric constant, or any arithmetic expression.

To add a weight to a table or subtable, simply type the expression the item name, numeric constant or expression directly into the box provided for weight.

Use the Apply All button to the right of the box if the weight is for the entire table and you want to propagate it to all tables currently defined. It will replace any existing weight in other tables.

Notes:

If the value of the weight data item or expression is not numeric when a tally is to be made, the tally is NOT done. This is equivalent to a tally of zero.

If the weight expression is not valid it must be corrected before the Tally Attributes dialog box can be closed.
