Variable labels in (some) output

Post by leehw »

I'd like to request a feature, please. In certain analyses, it's really useful to be able to switch between a clean-and-simple variable name, and the fuller variable label.

For instance, when doing exploratory factor analysis, it's easier to have the current view most of the time (with variable names). Clean. Minimal. Simple.

But when I export that table for a paper or report, I really want the text of the psychometric items in there — i.e. the variable labels. The readers aren't as familiar with the items as I am, and if they're going to make any sense of things, they need the whole statement, not just a variable name.

I can add them manually, of course, in Word, but then we're prone to transcription errors and the analytic process becomes just that tiny bit less transparent.

Having a checkbox to switch between labels or names in the output would be hugely helpful.
