You can override the table weighting for specific rows or columns so that they use a different weighting variable, or so that they are unweighted. This is an advanced feature that uses variable editing to change the weighting properties for categories in a variable.
These instructions assume that you want to override the weighting for a specific category in a variable, on every table where the variable appears in the table document. To apply the changes to the variable for a single table, select the variable on the table definition area in the Design pane and use the Edit Table Variable option on the menu.
► Select the variable in the Variables pane.
► From the menu, choose
► In the list of categories that make up the variable, select the category you want to edit.
► From the Edit Variable dialog box menu, choose
or choose the View Properties button on the toolbar.
The Properties pane appears. This lists all the properties that you can change for the selected category.
► The drop-down list beside the Override table weight using: property contains a list of all the variables that you can use to override the table weight. Select a variable from the drop-down list. If you want the category to be unweighted, select No weight from the list.
► Repeat for any other categories in the variable that you want to change, then choose Save and Close from the toolbar to save your changes.
► Add the variable to a table, or regenerate existing tables that use the variable, to update the weighting.
