Transpose Descriptives Statistics

Post by dsiddons »

Hello all,
I am teaching an introductory course on statistics with Jamovi for the first time. I was just wondering how complicated it would be to have the option of transposing the descriptive statistics table?
I ask as when we present summary data we usually have the variables as rows and the statistics in columns. I can work around by pasting into Excel, cleaning up the cells and transposing to later paste into Word. but a quick copy and paste from Jamovi would be much nicer.

Hi, @dsiddons.

It is reported in the Release notes
1.8.1 - APRIL 19, 2021
Descriptives - Added the option to transpose descriptives table
General improvements and bug-fixes

To save work, it is worth checking the versions of jamovi you will be using in your course.

Cheers,
Maurizio

Hello.

I’ve literally only today discovered Jamovi and it looks awesome! No more SPSS needed.

I need to do this too, but can’t work out how, or find any guidance on the site/user manual.

Are there some more detailed instructions anywhere?

Many thanks!!

You'll find the option to transpose the descriptives table in the descriptives of the newer version of jamovi.

In the latest Jamovi version, there are Table options of either "Copy" or "Export" or "Add note" - but nothing to transpose the rows and columns.

For example I have 50+ items and 3 categorical variables. I simply want the 3 rows across the top as columns, and the items shown as rows.

I must be missing something really simple here? But I've read all the guidance and still stuck!

Thank you!

Thank you Jonathon,

I definitely don't have that option!

I downloaded the recommended most recent stable version of 1.6.23.0 for Mac.

When you say "latest" version are your referring to the 2.01 then? Is this the issue?

Any reason why I can't go for 2.01? .... being new to this I just did what I was told upon discovering your amazing product!

the 2.0 series has proven quite solid, so i'd recommend using it.
