Like a plot window, each table window that displays time-series data includes a…
Title Bar—showing the pathname of the first selected dataset
Menu Bar—containing File, Edit, and View menus.
But it also includes a table showing the data stored in the selected datasets. The table includes a column for:
The Ordinate number (or counter) for each row of data in the table. Values in a time-series table are assigned an ordinate in increasing order of time.
The Date and Time associated with each value in the datasets
The Values for each selected dataset
A Header row that labels each column in the table.
A Scrollbar to allow you to scroll through the data since most tabulated time series data will not fit on your computer screen.
Commas—will include commas in the data values. For example, a value of one thousand, two hundred thirty-four and fifty-six hundredths will be displayed without commas as 1234.56 and with commas as 1,234.56. A checkmark will appear in front of this option in the menu when this option is ON. When unchecked (OFF), the data will display without commas.
Reverse Order —will display the data in the opposite order. Since the default order for time-series data is oldest to newest (oldest first), reversing the order will list the data from newest to oldest (newest first). The Ordinate values will be reassigned based on your selected order. A checkmark will appear in the menu when this option is ON.
Date and Time Separately—will split the date-time stamp into two columns. A checkmark will appear in the menu when this option is ON as shown in "Figure: HEC-DSSVue Table Window - View Menu". When unchecked (OFF), the date and time appear together as a single column.
Date with 4 Digits —will display the year in the date with four digits instead of the two. A checkmark will appear in the menu when this option is ON.
Show Decimal Places—unlike the previous options, this is not a toggle switch. Instead, this menu option provides a submenu from which you can select how many digits after the decimal you want displayed.
Show Missing As—provides a submenu of options for how missing values are displayed in the table. Options include:
Blank (the default)
-901.0 (an old HEC-DSS paradigm for missing values)
M
-M-
Refer to the HEC-DSSVue User's Manual for more details on configuring a DSSVue table window.
FYI—You can Tabulate from a Plot and Plot from a Table… Just look in the File menu of your Plot or Table window to find the option to Tabulate or Plot.
