Adding Data Elements in Tables

Data Elements within a Table are inserted and defined in the same manner as Data Elements outside a Table. The only additional requirement is that Data Elements within a Table include the required substitution tokens (see Substitution Tokens in Tables).

Insert a Data Element within a Table

1. Select Edit|Insert and choose Data Element.
2. Enter the Data Element information, including the required Substitution Tokens. For example: 
   • Text of Question: Have you bought any &TXT in the past 6 months, that is since &[SIXMO]?
   • Variable name: BUY6&C
   • Variable label: Bought &LBL in past 6 months
   • Question suffix: &C
   • Question number: T1&C (automatically assigned)

Tip: &[SIXMO] is a Substitution Token for a variable outside the table. You may not use variables from the current table as part of a Substitution Token in a Table Element.
