4.2 Using Tabulate

Now that you are familiar with using drop zones to generate a graph, we introduce the Tabulate platform. When you use Tabulate, your goal is to create numerical summaries of your data. This is unlike the Graph Builder platform, where your goal was to create a graph. However, the method of creating a summary of numbers in Tabulate is similar to Graph Builder.

Example 4.2. Movies

We'll use Movies.jmp to demonstrate Tabulate. This data table is a listing of popular US movies that were released between 1937 through 2003. The movies are categorized by type, rating, and director and contain earned gross dollar amounts for both the US domestic market and the worldwide market. Note: Dollar amounts are expressed in millions of dollars for both domestic and worldwide markets.

Movie: name of movie

Type: genre/category of movie (for example, comedy, family)

Rating: US movie rating system (for example, general audience [G], adult [R])

Year: year of movie release (for example, 1937)

Domestic $: US domestic revenue in $ earned by the movie in that year

Worldwide $: Worldwide revenue in $ earned by the movie in that year

Director: director of movie

You can find the data set at Help > Sample Data > Business and Demographics > Movies.
