Data Tab Columns

After you build a design, the Data tab will include a test plan with Response columns for entering response data. Each cell in a Response column is used to record the response value obtained at the combination of factor settings (green columns) specified in the current row. Note that robust parameter designs work differently; for more information on using these designs, see Using Robust Parameter Designs.

The columns shown in the test plan will vary depending on the design type you are working with. To hide/show columns, choose Data > Format and View > Visible Columns or click the Visible Columns icon on the control panel.

The available columns are described below.

Tip: If you need to use a non-randomized order in an actual experiment, you can sort the design by clicking a cell in the column you wish to sort by and choosing Sheet > Sheet Actions > Sort > [Order]. For example, if changing levels in a randomized experiment would be too expensive, you can sort the design table by factor levels.

If your design includes only one observation per test run, the following columns may be available:

If your design includes multiple measurements per test run, the following columns will be available:
