Copying Summary Data in Data Prep Studio to Another Application

You can copy data from Summaries in Data Prep Studio to other applications. When you copy data, Monarch Data Prep Studio creates a tab-delimited text image.

1. Select the data you want to copy by doing one of the following:

   • Selecting cells: To select a single cell, click on the cell. To select a range of cells, move the cell pointer to the first cell in the range. Using the mouse, click down and drag to highlight the range. Using the keyboard, hold down the Shift key and use the arrow keys to highlight the range.

   • Selecting rows: To select a single row, click on the row selector to the left of the row. To select a range of rows, click down on the row selector to the left of the first row, then drag up or down to highlight the range. To select multiple non-adjacent rows, click down on a row selector, drag up or down to select a range of rows, then release the mouse button. Hold down the CTRL key while repeating the selection process for additional rows.

   • Selecting columns: To select a single column, click on the column selector at the top of the column. To select a range of columns, click down on the column selector at the top of the first column, then drag left or right to highlight the range. To select multiple non-adjacent columns, click down on a column selector, drag left or right to select a range of columns, then release the mouse button. Hold down the CTRL key while repeating the selection process for additional column.

   • Selecting the entire summary: To select the entire summary select the blank cell at the upper left corner of the summary. Either action will highlight all of the data in the summary.

2. Right-click on your mouse and then select Copy or Copy with Headers from the options that display. Alternatively, you can press CTRL+C on your keyboard.

3. Paste the data into the target application. To do so, open the target application, position the cursor at the point where you want to insert the data, and then select Paste from the application's menu.

   Note that some applications, such as Excel, contain both a Paste command and a Paste Special command. The Paste Special command lets you choose which Clipboard image to paste into the application.

   The following behaviors are expected when copying and pasting Summary data:

   • Non-contiguous selection of columns should only give you those columns as part of the copy

   • Non-contiguous selection of rows should only give you those rows as part of the copy

   • Non-contiguous selection of cells should create a bounding range around the cells and copy that range

   •
