• Rows are cases: Each row represents a case or anobservation. For example, each individual respondentto a questionnaire is a case.

• Columns are variables: Each column represents avariable or characteristic that is being measured. Forexample, each item on a questionnaire is a variable.

• Cells contain values: Each cell contains a single value ofa variable for a case. The cell is where the case and thevariable intersect. Cells contain only data values. Unlikespreadsheet programs, cells in the Data Editor cannotcontain formulas.
