Common Right-Click Menu Items for Charts
Right-click menu items are available on all charts. Some of the available items are present for
all charts, and these items can be used to change how the data are displayed or to easily
export the data from a chart (Table 13).
Spreadsheets
The spreadsheets shown in Data Analysis include options for sorting and transferring the data
to other software programs. Sort the columns by one of these methods:
• Click and drag a column to a new location in the selected table
• Click the column header to sort the data in ascending or descending order
To sort up to three columns of data in the Sort window, follow these steps:
1. Right-click on the spreadsheet to open the menu and select Sort.
2. In the Sort window, select the first column title to sort. Sort the data in Ascending or
Descending order.
3. Select more than one column title by selecting the title in the pull-down menu. Select
Ascending or Descending to sort the column in that order.
4. Click OK to sort the data, or click Cancel to stop sorting.
Highlight the data on the associated charts and well selector by holding the mouse pointer
over a cell. If you click in the cell, you can copy the contents using Ctrl-c and paste into
another software program using Ctrl-v.
