The Gen Table Macro

If your data is coming off of a gage or from MS Access or some other database in one long column, you may need to re-format it to run a chart. We have built a macro to make this process simple and easy.

The data below represents 5 samples taken every two hours. We want to run an XbarR chart, but the data needs to be re-formatted first.

The QI Macros gen table macro can re-format your data into columns and rows.

  1. First select your data (don't select any of the labels).
  2. Next press these 3 keys (ctrl shift g) at the same time.
  3. The gen table macro will ask you for the sample size. This is equal to the number of columns you want to organize your data into. In this case we will input "5" because we took five samples every two hours.

    Select OK and the gen table macro will run. The result is as follows:

We can then select our data to run an XbarR chart.

Try it yourself with this sample data gentabledata. The spreadsheet has one column of 80 data points. Select the 80 points and organize them into 16 rows and 5 columns by selecting a sample size of 5. Your result should look like this:

You can also do the reverse by selecting a table like the one above and turn it into one column of data by selecting a sample size of one.

That is all there is to the gen table macro - just remember ctrl shift g.
