| In Origin 7, Statistics>Descriptive Statistics>Statistics on Columns generated a worksheet that could be plotted. In Origin 8, I cannot plot the worksheet: the column properties dialog does not appear when I double click on the column. The entire worksheet seems to be a different kind of worksheet. The only way it seems I can manipulate the values is to cut and paste to a fresh worksheet. Am I just stupid? |

Hi Criss,
The output sheet in this case is a "report sheet" that has embedded tables, and columns are the report sheet are not plottable.
What you can do now is to right-click on the Descriptive Statistics table node in this report sheet, and from the context menu select "Create Copy as New Sheet" or "Create Copy as Transposed Sheet" and a new sheet that is a "normal worksheet" will be added where all the results will be available, and you can set col designations and plot. In this copy sheet, the cells actually link back to this embedded table, so if the source data changes and your operation is set to auto udpate, the copy sheet content will update as well.
We will look into option for making this output go to a "normal" sheet as an option.

How about making embedded tables plottable ?
From the user's point of view, it would be the best solution (right-click - create copy as new sheet can become quite tedious).

hi, I'm wondering if this issue raised two years ago has been solved.
I'm using Origin 8 and if I do statistics on columns, the option of "output report tables to sheet" is still gray. |

The 'Old School' ways are still available in Origin, just not from the menu. For example, to generate Statistics to a flat sheet (i.e. one you can plot) you can select your columns and use:
run.section(wks,statcol);
That method ignores sub-ranges in a column and works only for whole columns (though it does detect any selection in a column as a column selection), does not have customizable stats and it cannot auto-update.

Hi,
Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused, we have added a issues tracker item QA#15352 to address this in the next version.
In the mean time, in 8.0 (may need latest SR) and 8.1, here is a workaround:
-> Select the columns you want to analyze (can be non-contiguous etc)
-> Go to script window and type:
colstats -d
and press Enter
-> In the dialog that opens, check/uncheck quantities to be computed
(not all quantities from the main tool may be present here,
but the most common ones are)
-> Set the Recalculate drop-down to auto if you want auto update etc
-> Press OK
You will get a "normal worksheet" with the column name and quantities and then you can make graphs from that sheet (after setting column type such as say setting SD to YErr)
