Worksheet options and formats

There are lots of options available in a Worksheet, and you can find them in many different places. The three most usual places to find options are as follows:

  • With a right-click on a pill
  • In the Worksheet menu at the top
  • By right-clicking on the View (or on a Mark)

  • Show Filter: This automatically puts the pill in the Filters shelf and displays the quick filter (it doesn't open the menu).
  • Show Highlighter (only for Discrete pills): This opens the Highlighter card, which allows you to highlight a specific value, as shown in the following screenshot...
