Create a Custom Set

You can specify a name and description for a custom set of data that is of interest to you to reuse later.

A custom set preserves the filters, sort order, and calculations you define.

You can use sets that other users create by opening the Other Analysis folder in the Analysis Items pane and going to a saved analysis. The items in this folder are filtered based on the package. To use a set from another analysis, drag it to the crosstab.

Notes

You cannot save a set as a custom set under the following conditions:

Steps
  1. Select a set.

  2. Click the save as custom set button  on the toolbar.

    Tip: Alternatively, you can select the set items, right-click, and choose Save as Custom Set.

  3. Specify a name and, if you want, a description of 256 characters or less.

  4. Click Save.

Custom sets are saved to the Analysis Items tab of the Insertable Objects pane.

When you insert a saved custom set, an annotation appears in the corner of the set selector of the custom set.
